l16 engine tune up

[usmc210]

just bought a 69 510 in amazing condition, however it runs not so well. I was wondering what to do with this specific engine to make it run smother. It wants to die while running until it gets warm, and still cuts out every little bit. Has an automatic. It has new spark plugs and wires and the car only has 737xx miles on it. Any help would be amazing. p.s. I did some searching around

Carb may need a rebuild. Try tuning it first, if you don't know how have someone that knows how do it. Plugs, wires, points etc may help too. as well as getting the vavles adjusted.

EZ cars to maintain, I havent dealt with automatics myself.

I heard you time them in gear w brake on.

It's nice to see a stock 510. I've thought about putting my wagon back to stock at times, hubcaps and all!

got my haynes manuel, idk if i want to keep it stock . Going to work on it this weekend some. Noticed my air-pump/ emissions control device is not connected. Would that cause to the bad idle?

If there is a vacuum leak, maybe. One of the rubber nipples i put on my 720 intake popped off, it had a ruff idle too, till i gave it some gas.

KEEP IT STOCK

 

if truly stock you can get more $$$$

Once cut into I always pay less

 

Is there a vaccum line to the trands to tell it to shift?

 

Time it in gear first and see if that helps. People who own auto would know more like Datsunaholic
