i think it might be too much but i'm not sure. best thing is to just remove it and put it on right and make sure you really dont have a leak

 

lol well put.

 

adder how do I get in touch with you? I tried your PM, to the other guy who said too much intake....i had that same cobra intake on another car with E6 heads and it ran smooth as heck...

 

i retract my previous statement

 

Did you clean the heads up good when you put the newgaskets on? A buddy of mine left some fragments of his old gaskets on the heads and it sounded like it had a really bad vac leak. it was noisy and it wouldnt rev up very quick. Just a possibility.

 

haha i love adder's posts. i bet it runs better than ever if you let adder take 'er.
he knows his ****. but yes 9 times outta 10 it would be an intake leak.

 

I tend to agree. It would be very easy to recheck the alignment of the dizzy. The intake should not make it sluggish. Set the motor back up on TDC and see where the rotor is pointing. At the very least, recheck the timing.

 

strangely enough i turned the crank over by hand to 0 at the pointer and reset the distributor with the rotor pointing at the #1 wire, and i set the timing from there at 12degrees and like I said, I hear a sucking sound, im still thinking intake leak from the 2 stripped center studs in the lower intake. Im drilling those out tonight and dropping in helicoils, if that doesn't fix it then who knows

 

update, with pics, but stinkin you may be right, maybe my timing light is a pos or maybe i need to find a more accurate way to place the distrib. Low end is terrible, backfiring, sluggish etc, top end gradually gets better over 3k rpms wtf.

-its the white one btw, blue = nacanitihs
damn this one pic at a time bs

 

I still think you should bring the car down to me.... I'll get it all straightened out for ya
