datzenmike Posted August 8, 2009 Report Posted August 8, 2009 Exhaust manifold... likely ok just burning off excess fuel. Intake manifold... Plug wires crossed, over advanced, lean condition. Quote
FoxyRoadster Posted August 9, 2009 Report Posted August 9, 2009 like occasional fireball? Thats normal if out the exhaust like datzenmike said. Quote
ggzilla Posted August 9, 2009 Report Posted August 9, 2009 Yep it's normal to have flames come out (not really a fireball). Now you know why the exhaust pipe gets so hot... Quote
HRH Posted August 9, 2009 Report Posted August 9, 2009 Hehe, you should see it when you run engines on the stand at a wrecking yard.:D Quote
ggzilla Posted August 9, 2009 Report Posted August 9, 2009 Hehe in my days at the wrecking yard we didn't have stands. We just set em on the ground and let 'em rip. Wern't many luxuries back then. You could run em for a few seconds, just long enough to verify no knocks and no smoke. Quote
HRH Posted August 9, 2009 Report Posted August 9, 2009 Yeah, back at Spaldings, there was a stand, used to run them on brake cleaner. Works pretty well. They run them for about 30 seconds though. Quote
