Hi all,
I took the 455 olds Rogers out last weekend. I recently got a brandnew BIGS tuned Holley 750 DP on it. And the first part of the day everything was fine; however towards the end this is what happened. As I am getting to higher RPMs like 3500~4500 It seems like the boat is running out of gas. It just stops pulling and sometimes even dies. It's like its having a hard time keeping RPMs up. It fires right back up when I try to start it though. I thought it might not be getting enough fuel because I have a 30 year old fuel pump on it. But now i'm thinking it could be a timing or too much fuel issue. I have a stock distributer on her. I have an hei lying around. I hvaen't put it in yet. If you guys think it is a timing or ignition issue. Can you guys walk me through how to put in the HEI and set the timing up correctly. I really need to get this figured out because I am going to Shasta this weekend. Thanks a million in advance.
Dennis
