sprayed a qwik shot of 2+2 in the carb and it all but shut off so i guess that means the cams to big , if so , to big for the compression or to big for the converter?

What it means is that the air/fuel ratio went momentarily rich and the ignition system was unable to fire the mixture.

wich means what ?

it should mean you dont have a vac. leak. if you had a leak the motor would be lean and spraying the cleaner in to the carb. would have richen the motor and the rpm would have went up accordeningly. looks to me like you need stall conv.

thanks to every one for their time and insight to helping me. especially lt1s10.denny w , techinspector, i just dont understand l......largest cam you can run with a stock converter .. wonder how many others they got with their false advertisement... or is it just my luck. when i started to shut the choke it did idle up until i had it almost closed then it was ready to die thanks guys for all youre time

S19243H you sure that cleaner will burn? 2+2 makes both . and what cam did you say you had? closing the chock is the same thing as spraying the cleaner. if it idles up with the choke then you are adding extra fuel to the lean motor. i still think you have a leak. be sure the cleaner will burn and spray just a little over the carb maybe you sprayed to much . if you put a conv. in and still have a leak youre still not gonna like it.

CAUTION 2+2 IS EXTREMELY FLAMABLE...i spayed a little on the driveway and PUUFF!! IT WENT UP FASTR THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD. yea its flammable but like i said i reset the timing with the light and vac gauge until i got the highest reading reset the mixture 2 half out fired up the motor let it warm checked idle 900 grabbed hold of choke started to close motor went up a little aint that what a choke does? closed it more it started to die opened it qwik to keep running when my motors idling and you punch it the tach dont seem to come down as qwik as i thought it use to i always thought thats how you know you have a vac leak when its in gear and you do it it drops real fast like i thought it use to am i right?

sorry comp cams extreme energy hydraulic dont have cam card in front of me ill guess 224 dur 477 480 lift 110 lobe sep xe 268 h

i sprayed a shot in the carb not over the carb

i think you are using to much cleaner, to much will flood it out. you want just a light mist in or over it. just a ltttle short shot. just a little. the only way to know you true vac. is with a gauge. aything below 15 is not enough. a motor with a vac leak is just like a cold motor, you keep them runing the same way. a bad leak would need more choke.

okeedokee ill give it another shot tomarrow ill let you know

a smaller shot

I believe the XE262H is the one they advertise as the biggest on a stock converter.

with a cam that big, you better just put in a high stall torque converter. ( electric lock up ) I had a .454 lift 272 duration in the wife's dodge, ( 318 ) and the dam trans just hated it. ( 904 ) I put in a mild ( first step up from stock ) stall converter, and it was only negligably better. So, I put in the next higher stall converter available, and it was noticably better. If I were to do it again, I would definitely go with an even higher stall.

Also have a .454 lift w/ 290 dur in the firebird ( 305 ) with a 350 TH and I believe I put in a Summit converter, mid range stall. Does fine.

great for street machines largest cam for stock converter right from the horses mouth but it could be ......i may have a vac leak
