YES PROGRESS! Adjusted the valves on the "bad" side, the intakes were a little tight @ 1-3 thou too tight the exhausts we good at 6 thou. Started it and basically the same prob, then i remembered the artice that is posted in the tech area about timing for carbs, so I set the timing as per the "other" mark on the fan. Now it gets better: idle is nice, and hitting the throttle is smooth till @4500 rpm then a slight popping, still from the dr side. So I readjust the carbs as per the weber docs and go for a ride, slight poppping but nothing like before, so I say hey lets open her up and she starts running like new money! Plenty of power no popping pulling like silly! Good to go! Thanks all for you expert advice!
Now more questions, after adjusting the valves I see my haynes book say .008" for the exhaust valves? Alot of other docs say .006?
Next, can someone recommend a new distributor for the car, I have the stock one in right now with points and it needs to go.
Any thought on the manta exhaust? 4 tips 2 mufflers, will this hurt the low end as im planning to use it for A/X
