1986 EA 82. Three days after putting new cam tower on my right bank my car started acting strange! Every thing is new except carb but it was done not to long ago. Idle is normal and engine is smooth but once in a while it will bog down and act like its running on 2 cylinders then when i stomp The gas it will pick up but not have the power it should. The timing belts are dead on and im not real shore because i don't have i timing light but by looking at timing marks on the fly wheel and having the disty cap off im at about 10 degrees after tdc on number one plug. Thanks for any info!

Shouldnt it be around 8 off TDC?

You need to check it with a timing light.

Going to get timing light today but i dont think that is the problem. I have had my car out of time many of times but it never died the way it did yesterday. Wasent a complete die just loss of power. Anyone else ever have this problem? Need help please !

It´s the Carb. Simple: Trow the Craptachi and Go Weber!

Your problem is probably not the timing, but it should be at 8 degrees BTDC on the carbureted engine.

 

When you say it bogs down and acts like it's running on two cylinders, is there a lot of vibration in the engine? Does it do this at idle, or at a particular RPM range?

I think after 5mo, he might have got it figured out:horse:

But then again............
