no problem im good at not reading all of the post.

hey s10 get off may back i did not say i have all the answers but i know when some thing is running ouy of fuel

The cut was from the float remark, you good as told me I was lying, just because you haven't seen a float sink under load just tells me how much auto.repair work you've done. when q-jets first came out it was a major problem. I know when a motor is playing out of fuel also, and if you say a blower motor can play out of fuel at wot and not do no damage then you have never played out of fuel on a blown motor. I said I didn't see the head gasket post. when the whole story came out what i said was true.

who s is taking about Q jets ??? we are taking about afb s and edlbrock s and they do not have foam floats they are brass and i have tune many blown car s and did not need more than the set of pistons that came in it .if you want to try running 400 + hp with no fuel with a blower go for it ?and q jets have one float that why .i do not give a give a dam what you think you are way off on this and i was rigth

i did have a lean problem with my chevy but fixed it before i burned the engine down check the ex temp and i do know something it is 548 big block with 10 je pistons in it and 10 boost and beat the shi$ out of it for the last 5 years and run it to 7000 rpm what do i know i guess not much according to you but i do not give a dam . come by some time and i will show you some 50 chevy tail lites

i believe he said he was running 2/650 double pump carbs i assume he meant holleys. they can have either floats. if he has the Nitrophyl Floats they will get heavy with fuel and sink under load. i was using q jet as a example because that had a lot of trouble with the Nitrophyl Floats.

yes they did and have put some in. and so did the two barrels have fixed brass floats solder them when i was a younger and tested them in a glass of water and used a pencil and some thing to hold them down this was over 25 years a go. have you work on cars longer ?maybe but i work on Q jets that look like they sat on the bottom of the ocean when i work it the boat yard and had to scrap the in side to clean them out and got them to work very good i did not think i need to give may past on what i work on ?that dose not have much to do with this thred

i was working in a ford dealership in 1960, you do the math.

i dont see nothing

so you are and older fart then me ?? when i was 5or 6 i help my dad work on this B alered and remember like it was a day ago when he gave me a ride in it .to much for the short drive way and moved the one car barn a bout 6inch back in the yard that was the day i like going fast and realized stoping was even better i can still hear him say do not tell your mother pat. i work on a lot of stuff and have work in all fields auto body and engines work and machine work and have done them all it the same time for a long time i work at the biggest boat yard in mich and work on five or more boats a day. engine work. wire work. riggin. and sten drives. lot of trouble shooting hi speed mising and bogs and no power and have gone down the river. a lot of times looking it a chevy engine at 50 mph with my ear to it .why some one drive the boat .and i worked on alot of Q jet s setting the spring on the rear 4 s boats are not cars they get run hard and if not rigth you will know it. and when someone pays 50.000to 200.000 and no one did not want to fix it or could not fix it they talk to me .and i did a dam good job my name means a lot to me my dear dad taught me this along ago. and wish he could see me now

denny i did not say i am king. but i did read the thred and was trying to help and i think i did get it rigth for the guy and i am do know some thing this is what i eat breath and think about all day fore 35 years and many of the guys i know i work on there stuff drag and street i think you have seen my stuff and it is far from mild street stuff and not junk. i do know you but think your are a good guy and some day maybe i will meet you person ?but i think i have been there and done that .and do not have a problem with S10 and i think what you said can go for him to i did see the thred on the damper and the hot pan of water

Pat, I want you to know that I appreciate you and all your knowledge and I have respect for you.

Mike, I want you to know that I appreciate you and all your knowledge and I have respect for you.

Denny, I want you to know that I appreciate you and all your knowledge and I have respect for you.

There now, I feel a lot better

thanks my mom is the only one that has ever said that to me till know

i think tech would tell a lie. if you dont love me tech, the rest dont count. i posted 17 times if he was lean he would have a blown a head gasket, why someone didnt say, read the post mike he blew a dead gasket, then id say see i told you so and that would have been the end of it.

denny, i saw the black carb. but i believe that carb looked like that when he put it on. terrylittlejohn ? when the blower motor miss fire with the blower pumping air it can't pop back through the carb. because the back fire can't get back past the rotors. the intake has a pop off valve thats suppose to release the blow back, but it never worked for me, so most of the time it would blow the head gasket out from under the head. thats the reason they make you put blower straps on them in case it miss fire and blow the blower off of the motor. with the blown head gasket id have to say like everyone else is he has a lean fuel problem.
