Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell! Our goal was to create a more close-knit community of FBody enthusiasts in the state of Michigan, and to bring Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts alike together for some amazing FBody events!
The most important thing to know about the Michigan FBody Association is that we are NOT a club! The Michigan FBody Association is open to everyone, and is a community. Thus, we will have get togethers, casual cruises, events, and such like that, but this is not an exclusive club and it's 100% free to join this site! So what are you waiting for? Register now!
If you have any problems with the registration process or your account login, please contact us!
what do i do if my headmen hearder a getting cherry red. my engine is a sbc 305. we had the engine running for about 1 or 2 min and the passenger side lit right up and then the drivers side got red. should they do that with the engine only being a 305 and what should i do to make sure they dont burn everything under the hood or start a fire.
thank you
sounds like a restriction in the exhaust mabey. you would have to be runing rediculasly lean to do that you would melt valves to be doing that while idleing i would expect.
it sounds like the carb is sucking air again but if you spray starter fluid all over the carb it never revs the engine. there is a dent in the exhasut but that shouldnt make that big of a difference and there is no cat on the car and the muffler is brand new. plus the exhaust sounds great when the engine is running and i want to get the car on the road and give it some gas to see what it sounds like. could it have something to do with the screws on the front of the carb.
This is NOT a good thing for only idling a couple of minutes.
Something is seriously wrong.

I think it is because I take it in and out all the time, the rubber has just stretched out, especially at the bottom where it is really thin. It annoys me more then anything.

running lean at idle will not hurt your car, nor will running lean under part load (this is done by OEM's in different parts of the world for fuel economy)
actually running stoich is the hottest you can get which is what all OEM's do untill they reach high load and add enrichment for cat over temp or to protect valves/exhaust manifolds
My guess is either Dangerously RICH or very retarded timing

right but what do they consider lean, like 13:1?? I agree lean is fine, but if the spark plug came out a crispy white, you are more than a 'little' lean. Pulling a plug would also tell you if it is too rich. It was just a suggestion for a quick check. I think timing is the most likely culprit.

ha. you know thats what I initially thought, but i always forget which way it goes. I double checked with a search and i must have cited a ricer website because they had it backwards!
OK so 15.5:1 would be what i meant. I suppose air over fuel is obvious enough
