What 's your compression ratio? What octane gas are you using? How have you determined the correct jetting for your carbs? You might be running too lean. Or you might just have to invest in some kind of octane booster to run this engine. the car has about 50 km > on before I came home. please help because I goota drive from colorado to > virginia on friday. YES in this car!!! Sorry, but I think that's unlikely. Did you really expect to put in a new untried engine and expect no shakedown period? Time to start looking into alternatives.
