  1. This is definitely not in the for sale thread...
  2. I play on PC. Someone was running around with the name "Steve Meade". Gave him my forum username and he never contacted back. I guess he just liked him from youtube
  3. New batt fits like a glove

  4. This guy just wanted me to put a reminder sticker for 20,000 miles... I hate people

  5. My new beauty is ready for some action

  6. I remember the first time Steve commented in one of my threads
  7. Congratulations man that's awesome. I got my eagle last year, finished my project 3 days before my birthday
  8. I cant advertise a product here.... I need to consult with Tony C in order to do that
  9. I figured it out guys. It was starving for AIR. I also needed to set my timing to change for the carb difference. I appreciate the input!
  10. Update: Let it dry out over night. Went out to my truck this morning, leaned it out a bit and it started right up on the first turn! I messed with the idle so it sits at about 800 now. I let it idle for about 5 min and then put it in drive, bogged down and then died without even moving. Tried to start it again, nothing. Acting like its flooded again. I noticed I have 2 other tuning screws that are on the sides of the fuel bowl. These 2 are completely lean. Like tight all the way, where should they be?
  11. I dont believe it would be leaking anywhere, it is brand new out the box only a couple days bought. As said, I only let it idle and rev'd it; never drove it. I have not tried to start it since it dying. Should I just lean it down and keep trying?
  12. Hey guys. I have a 77 dodge d150 with a built 400 in it. My old carb was a holly 850 double pumper and the float threads got stripped out causing it to flood if you tried to start it, so i had to replace it (yes i tried rethreading as a last hope). Brand new carb put on yesterday is a holly 650 (couldnt afford the 850 and im selling it anyways). installed everything correctly, new fuel filter too, and didnt touch the tuning screws yet. started right up and idle'd at around 900 (old carb had idle around 700) for a bit and i gave it some gas and rev'd it everything was working great, however i did not drive it, just idle'd. I knew i was going to tune it down a little bu ti need to run the store really quick. started my truck to let it warm up, idle'd fine for a bit then i threw it in gear, low rpm's instantly as if it wasnt warmed up enough (probably wasnt) so i put it in park to let it idle more. It died. tried to start it up again and nothing. Its acting like its flooded. ANY help or suggestions is greatly appreciated!
