Thread: 429 Help

My Fairlane seems hard to hold an idle, I'm camming it though. I have a steady misfire of spark plug #1, and the timing seems a bit off. I can't find any info online for what these adjustments should be. We've already adjusted the air/fuel ratio on the Holley. It also feels like my tranny wants to drop out at times. I checked the tranny fluid and it's about a half a quart low, but it still drives in 1-2-3 gears, just not "drive" itself on the shifter. (using B&M star shifter) Maybe a linkage issue, any idea on linkage settings as well?

this sounds like a car you just bought .. lot of things to fix all at once .. you need to stop the miss before you go any further ..check all the basics .. cap-wires -plug itself .vacuum leak ?

429....Fairlane....HUH?
