RE: wont rev over 5 grand - 7/1/2008 7:26:47 PM    JRs72RS   Posts: 219 Joined: 1/1/2007 Status: offline Check your distributor, inside. Make sure there is no burning on the rotor or carbon tracking on the inside of the cap. HEI ignitions can do this and cause low output under higher rpms and higher load. Also, since the car takes off fine then loses power, the feeder holes to the secondaries could be plugged. Once you use up the fuel in the secondary bowls you run out and the car bogs. If you remove the top of the carb and look carefully on each side you will see a small hole drilled between the front bowl and the secondary. A welding tip cleaner can check it or clean it.

RE: wont rev over 5 grand - 7/2/2008 8:14:55 PM    JRs72RS   Posts: 219 Joined: 1/1/2007 Status: offline A new dist cap should come with the rotor contact and an insulating washer. Install the contact from the coil side and then place the washer over it and install the coil. Always buy your cap and rotor from the same supplier and with the same brand to ensure a good match. Good luck! (in reply to 73camaroSS) Post #: 29
