My 68 Triumph (motorcycle) had a gremlin. Mis fire, sputtering, after sitting a few months.. 6 months of chasing it down.. new NGK plugs I put in over break was bad.. my wife asked “can new plugs be bad”.. she gets props for fixing my bike..

That feed line at the carb has a U in it that is creating alot of back pressure in the line before getting to the carb

Great video. i've got a 347 in a 66 coupe. I've changed over all sorts of parts from suspension to brakes. I struggle all the time figuring out issues. Currently my new brake rotors dont want to fully seat in the rears. You did a great job showing the struggles of modifying these old cars.

[@bobbilly351]

Make sure you have a good ground from the body to the engine... typically a ground strap from the back of a cylinder head to the firewall. Otherwise, it might be getting a partial ground through the exhaust (if no rubber insulators on hangers).

[@jeremyknezha4487]

I have a 91 foxbody, 5.0 efi. I dunno the setup that you have, but I had a lot of issues with the car dying, and not cranking. I dug, I fought, I ended up being tired, forgetting the hood pins that the previous owner put in, hood flew up 😢. then push starting it by myself because the battery was dead after it died, and messing the door up. 🤦 So I parked it. Then I dug more, but eventually I found that the ignition switch harness was melted in half. I've recently been watching your videos and you have a lot of great information for me as I am getting back into my fox after years. But this is just something you can let your audience know. From what I've heard this is a common problem as well for foxes at least.

Your videos are awesome man. I discovered you when I was deciding on a cam for my GT40P Motor swapped SN with a carb. I ended up choosing a B cam because of your video and doing my own valve springs watching your guide. I have experienced an issue similar to this but with hard hot starts because of vapor lock.

[@davidgray3491]

Wrong gasket on metering block, a wrong gasket can block a vent passage and makes it very easy for the fuel to siphon out of float bowl when not running

Fuel delivery problem

[@willhayes52]

I had similar symptoms on my 306 especially when I when to a bigger carb. I have 220cc heads,N91 cam, vicjr w/2inch spacer and a brawler950 yes a brawler 950. This motor lives above 6k rpm most of the time and the more cfm makes a difference. It had a 4.5 PV and 79/87 jets. I deleted the PV and went to 86/92. Afrs went from 15-16 breaking up and running terrible to 12.5-12.7 and smooth. Idles at 13.5-14. Runs fine cruising as well. But I chased my tail for a while and it was the jets. Hope you find the problem! Love the channel big dog!

[@bsbs5.0]

did you have a fuel injection setup before you went to carb? because if you have a non vented fuel tank or fuel cap...its gonna build up pressure in the tank. I had this issue when I switched from a fuel injection setup to carb.

[@bsbs5.0]

and it was back feeding through the return line.

[@timburgess2209]

[@DustinCottle]

A buddy of mine had a 420hp 355 in a 3rd Gen Z28. It was doing this. We changed everything including the carb. Nothing fixed it. He moved from Hurricane WV to Columbus OH and it never acted up again. It's was like the carb and the climate here in WV wasn't getting along. It was very strange.

[@StLMikie]

Ok. One last question. This car has a TFI on it or nah? I’ve No idea with a carb.

[@wastedwagesmercuryman6018]

Man thing is with carbs is that you need a fast idle when its cold just long enough for your temp gauge to move.

[@JimmyGorrell]

Have u checked the voltage on that wire u have on the solenoid that’s powering your terminator x ? I believe those crank off of 12 volts and run off if 6. I had my msd box ran to that wire and had the same issue . I would take a volt meter and check the voltage while it’s running

[@jcnpresser]

One thing you got to remember when an engine is misfiring, it’ll read lean. It has I un burned air fuel mixture in the exhaust.

[@pimpovic2]

If there's a change that it's fueling related, how is the vent on the fuel tank? Sized correctly? Not pinched? Thought it might be worth a mention. Also, check the grounds?

[@stangatic6621]

HAHAHA you have the same issue that I had! I am running the terminator X stealth on my 66 mustang and have been running if for 2 years with absolutely no issues once I sorted out the 12v switch issue. I had several issues with my terminator X when what should have been switch 12v wasn't a good switch 12v source. the car would start, run and do everything it would but the AFR would be all over the place. The 12v source you tapped into is NOT the ideal place to get 12v source power from (that's what I learned). I get it though, in all my years, I got 12v from that prong on the switch for everything else that needed switch (electric fan). I switched out 3 different solenoids too. The issue was that the switch wasn't constant 12v when you turn the key to start vs on. In my case the Terminator X would lose power when I went from key On to Start, and causing the terminator X to run absolutely retarded (a mind of its own doing exactly what you said it did to you in the last few mins of your video). Not sure why it did this, but what solved it was that I tapped into the 12v source under the dash (I think it was a black and Green or a Pink wire Its one of the two) but you HAVE to make sure it has 12v source power in BOTH On and Start. My advice to you is 1) rewire that switch power to a standalone fuse/relay block that when the switch is powered, it powers everything that needs switch power from one single source. I have a picture of the one I made that I will send you. 2) use the terminator X to the fullest and get your electric fan wired to. 3) get an in-tank fuel pump from Tanks Inc and call it a day. 4) buy the terminator X stealth and have a blast. My car has a wilder cam than yours (Mother Thumpr) and the terminator X stealth manages it better than anything I have every had (Atomic MSD and FuelTech).

[@martingagne367]

[@sergiomiranda3728]

I might be a bit late... but having my sniper 12v switch connected to the solenoid was causing me the same issues you're experiencing. It would feel like it was misfiring and than pick back up and so on. Once I found a clean 12v switch source all my problems cleared out

[@95Sn95]

As long as the CD player keeps rocking Dr feel-good you'll be ok.

[@gregoryfatigati5707]

I have a bad feeling is that it's the jets dumping not enough fuel to much at once I had almost the same problem with my 750 Holly on my 347 I put a Winston manifold spacer on it 2-in spacer and it soved mine

[@krombopulosmichael7994]

that EFI pump is having an easy time. you should run 12 or 10 gauge wire to the pump, your regulator is what creates the resistance in the fuel line to build up pressure. your pump will flow more fuel at a lower pressure. so a 340L pump rated for 40psi will flow more volume at 8PSI so you have a little more head room to make power on an NA Carb than EFI or Boosted.

[@334waterboy]

Use a bore scope with a light to see what fluid it is. I'm betting carb is leaking.

[@BREW2LFOXBODY]

Mine is currently broken or I would have used it. Based off of the carb leaking and fuel in the intake I’m fairly certain that was the issue 🤞

[@AJsSpeedShop]

If you are using the Holley Terminator X to control the distributor, (TFI), then start there. Put a “ready to run” distributor in it that does not use an ignition box or ECU to run it. Your misfire is certainly ignition. AFR during a misfire can show lean because it’s looking for residual o2 in a burnt mixture, but during a misfire you are not combusting properly, so it may not have/show residual o2. I get the fact you are fuel fouling plugs and they are wet etc… and a fouled plug will certainly cause a misfire but….. something in the ignition system is causing the misfire/plug fouling in the first place. I’d be willing to bet that the Terminator X controlling the distributor is your problem.

[@SMB-works]

can you link me to that mini flash light yall use bother,...beeen trying to find the video where yall talk about it for a week and been searching amazon no luck!

[@ryandoyle4344]

Intermittent issues tend to be electrical; Check for bad/weak/loose ground connections.

[@jcnpresser]

Was the plugs shiny black or flat black? shiny is oil, flat is fuel fouled. Generally I’ve experienced if they’re flat black they will clean up with the right tune up, if they’re shiny though they will not and get worst it seems. The heads I swapped too suggested a7 ngk, I’ve got a6 projected tip in it now and it seems better, but I’m even thinking of going to a 5, projected tip. I’m na not spraying though.

[@jcnpresser]

Dude I fought my engine so much after swapping to a carb and heads. It wouldn’t stop smoking and fouling plugs. Had to reseal the rocker studs three times, I used motor craft ta29 silicone the last time and buddy it’s sealed now. Now just trying to get the carb tuned up. I under carbed it with a650 and I’m having to take jet out of it. It’s finally getting there. I had a bad cap and button that was only like a year old or something. Black corrosion crap flaked of the terminals. Swapped it over and it started running better with another cap I had. It really needs a new one.

[@AwesomeBuford]

I think the regulators are tested and set at the factory or at least "closely adjusted" by looking at the screw. They are a carb regulator that is set for a general PSI setting for a carb. Fuel volume won't matter as long as there is not a restriction. I think the wiring and the Terminator X have a gremlin like you think. Looks good and thanks for the honesty!

[@ICONBADGTA]

Possible fuel evaporating inside the bowl?... Just like if you take a clear milk jug, rinse and wash it out with hot tap water out of the hot feed of ya house.. You shake it up with the hot water in it, then our it out and then placing the cap on it, and watch what happens.. Water condenses back when cooled and plastic will suck in, that is the "FILLING/BUBBLING EFFECT" you saw when sitting in the bowl sight glasses... The metal is tougher thus it's not "COLLAPSING" the bowls but i bet it's the same effect..... Just a "THOUGHT"...

[@clevelandfox1081]

You are getting a vapor lock situation..... Put a return system on the car in the problem will go away.... With a return system the fuel stays cool all of the time.. I had the same problem. That oxygenated fuel that we Have these days will vapor lock?Will they prolock faster than the old fuel that we used to have

[@travisevans7502]

Intermittent issues can be very frustrating, I had a fuel pump issue where it would just quit and then start working again randomly changed the pump cleaned up the grounds replaced relay nothing worked until I figure out it was the wire connection under the fuel pump hanger was corroded wire brushed it clean and soldered it haven't had any issues in few years now, but boy was in frustrating had the tank out several times and don't have a lift and I'm not a young man anymore lol.

[@geoech9531]

You mentioned the Terminator X screen went blank for a second and it miss fired. Sounds like you have a RFI issue. Had that issue myself on my Sniper. Car would randomly miss fire at times and then stall out of nowhere. Try to run all the terminator X wiring that has to do with spark, away from any power and TPS signal wiring. As soon as I did that my problem was solved. Appreciate the great content 🤜🏼🤛🏼

[@StLMikie]

If you had to pick one cologne from here on out, what would it be?

[@donaldmurphy8435]

Two thoughts watching this one. Try putting a multimeter on the lead right after the run circuit as it comes from the ignition key cylinder. Then mess with it a bit. If the voltage fluctuates even a little,, that could be an issue as the car runs. If yours is OEM it could be on it's way out. Spark scatter. How many degrees can you rotate the crank while the distributor is motionless?

[@Coopfox-bb9ul]

Fuel line close to a hot part of the engine? Change the fuel filter?

[@shanebatten6473]

You’re better than me, that thing has been a nightmare. Btw a switch is a switch, doesn’t matter if power is coming in top or bottom, once the switch makes contact it’s the same either way.

[@ben88stang]

I really wonder if something is up with the terminator X or heads. Seems like that motor paired with the terminator has been giving you the most problems from the teal cobra clone now to the 65. Can’t wait to see it running at its best.

[@jcnpresser]

Come back to watch this again, think I’ve got the same issue going on, mine will run the bowl out and the pump can’t fill it. I raise the hood and cool it off a couple minutes and it’s good to go. I’ve got a plastic spacer. Now my Fuel pump is leaking now, new jegs pump. I’m going to take the complete system off it and probably copy and paste your setup,

Don’t be so hard on yourself, you are very smart actually. 90% of the population can’t do what you do, and even if replacing a part doesn’t solve the problem, you at least learned that that was not the problem. Sometimes difficult diagnostics simply have to be done through process of elimination. I have no doubt you will figure this out soon.

Maybe it's not a spark issue. Carb float needles. Pull them out, clean the orifice again, and make sure it goes back together clean. Or replace the float needles. Even with the heat, it does it even after cold start? Happens way to fast for vapor lock doesn't it? Is there a one-way valve in the fuel line that could have gotten garbage in it? Without putting my hands on, hard to figure.
