well i finally got done doing my engine bay like carl but when i started the motor i had a nice engine knock. These are the things i changed:
-switch from champion-10 spark plugs to ngk iridium 11 plugs (i was told that with these plugs to leave the gap at .040)
-put in a crankcase vent into exhaust
-relocated battery to bed (1gauge but i think i need a bigger cable cuz has a hard time starting)
-new exhaust gaskets
-cleaned the tips of the injectors
Now i was told by Shell that the gas in phx has a shelf life of 3 weeks. well its been longer than 3 weeks so i drove the truck to the gas station to put new fuel gas in plus about two cap full of that lucas fuel injector cleaner.
Could it be that my engine is tuned for the champ 10 (hotter plugs) than the ones i put in?
What can i do to make the engine run right? could it be that the battery cable is too small to draw amps to ignite the fuel? Any help would be great.
