FE Technical Forum / Re: After fire poping out headers
« on: March 15, 2017, 11:57:27 AM »
falcon67 so you are saying my idle mixture screws should only be set at 1/4 to 1/2 out on all four corners? btw i had a 67 falcon sport coupe a long time ago. i do have some header extensions that i made ball and socket style that could be leaking but they are only about 6" long, just enough to prevent burning the speedo cable neutral safety switch.

thanks for the reply guys but i just put new Edelbrock heads on and i am sure Remflex gaskets are  sealing. i am running less timing and no vacuum advance because i was planning on a little shot of nitrous. i think it might be rich or lean but i will do more tuning this weekend. What about drilling the carb butterflys? not sure about much right now or if its even something i should worry about.

FE Technical Forum / After fire poping out headers
« on: March 14, 2017, 10:19:50 PM »
Any ideas  why my 445 would be popping out the headers?
It's running great other wise.
Timing is set at 34° total right now
750 double pumper is running  a little bigger jets than it came with 73 front 85 back
I opened the little screw at the bottom  for the secondaries a bit more
Vacuum advance has been eliminated on the ready to run distributor
It's running  awesome  starts and idles great just pops a bit when I let off.

Thanks for the reply Jay Brown i am ordering the 60065 heads today $1070 per head cdn plus tax gaskets and other things i need. i know arp bolts would be best but can i just use new stock replacement bolts? Lodrco said arp are expensive and this is already 1 months wages.

Same rpm every time might rule out running out of gas, checked ready to run distributor for a possible rev limit in there and didn't seem to make any  gains. the old springs had some shims on some but not all and worked better than this. i will have to learn how to measure these things as i go.
