FE Technical Forum / Re: Low manifoild vacum reading
« on: August 15, 2023, 04:13:12 AM »
Mr Woody. That one was interesting. I have not tought about that. This engine have the rear breather ore the draft tube that goes down on passenger side of the engine,and also the canister innside the valley. Have tried to advance the timing, the vacum stays the same. I will do the test that mr woodys says. And move on to the camshaft. 1 TDC do line upp with the harmonic balancer.

Thanks everyone =)
Best regards

FE Technical Forum / Low manifoild vacum reading
« on: August 14, 2023, 03:46:13 PM »
Hi guys

Anyone inn here have some experience with manifoild vacum ?
This is not a FE, but i assume the technical would be the same.
I have been helping my father putting his 59 biscayne together. I have som trouble with engine inn this car too get it running okay. This is a stock 283, but it sounds like it have a lot of cam inn it. I am reading 5HG manifoild vacum ported side on the carb. I have also conected straight too the manifoild and still gets the same reading. I was thinking a vacum leak, so i went over with some brake clean around the intake manifoild when the car was running and did not notice any RPM inncrease. I changed the inntake gasket thinking it maybe had a leak bottom of the head. Did not help either. Compression checks out ok. Leak down tests checks out ok. Timing checks out okay. Disconected all vacum lines that can cause leak. I am thinking maybe there is something wrong with the camshaft at this point and are considering taking the engine out again. My Yblock is reading over 15 HG and are running great. Any Tips/Tricks/Experience ore advice on what to do here ? Camshaft next ? Flattet ore wrong timed ? Oh, one more thing. The car drops a lot inn RPM when putting it inn drive. Have tried to inncrease the idle, but it does not help. And, when give it a little trottle inn drive it tends to surge a little before it respond. Sometimes it dies. At one point the car was chasing RPM at idle. This car makes me sad :'(

Best Regards
Robin

So, i have looked over some off the wiring diagrams. Both EZ and rebel seems to be, a little vaugh om detail ( regardles off the diagram, i am shure the harness are made with good quality). The one that Kvik wire have looks pretty good. And after reading the Kvik instruction/diagram, i looked over on the wiring inn the shop manual and felt like i was on the right track. I just, so difficult to deside who to pick. Its a little more pricey than Rebel and EZ.  :-\

Great site Jay. Have never been on the network forum. Found this first and it have been great enough to me. I was on the yblockforever forum a couple off years ago, but somehow it was shut down for a couple of years. Was also a good site :)

Hi.

This problem seems like it have followed mee on severeal car, and cant figured it out. start the car when cold, and it runs great. Starting when hot, and the car have been turned off about 10-15 min, it sounds like it missfire and then it will slowly start to run cleaner and perfect again. Timing is ok. Maybe a carb issue ?
