jstone4646 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 As the title suggests does this sound cammed, or is this just the sound of a poorly set up carburetor mixture? She doesnt normally smoke, I have been adjusting the mixture (waiting on my vacuum gauge to come in) so its out of whack, just trying to figure out if this thing has a performance cam and unsure if sound alone can give that away with a bad mixture.

PetesPonies Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I would have liked to have heard more. But I think it has some more overlap than a stock cam. A miss sounds differently . .that was ( pretty sure) overlap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Really difficult to tell with the open exhaust. And it could be an air/fuel mix problem. But I agree with Pete that it sounds like it has more overlap than stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have liked to heard her more too guys thats about all I could get her to do without stuttering out from the bad carb mix! My vacuum gauge is on the way so hopefully I can get her dialed in soon to get a good idle and see what she really sounds like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quarterwave Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Not sure if it's needed - but for comparison, this is how my truck sounds... which has a 351W with an aftermarket cam. New carb, new vacuum hoses, fresh plugs and leads: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New carb, new vacuum hoses, fresh plugs and leads: That's a pretty sweet sound quarterwave. 'would make a great ring tone. Nice work, looks and sounds very nice.

Quarterwave Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 That has a really deep sound. What mufflers? Thanks guys. Simple exhaust setup - 2 & 1/2" Hedman headers into dual 2 1/4" pipes into Jegs-brand mufflers that terminate just before the gas tank and point down to the ground - but still hidden from side-view (one on the gas tank side and the other on the non-tank side).
