As the title says my Mac Shorty headers on my 84 302 are cherry red hot at idle and i know that something is not right but just don't know where to start and would like to get your guys input on this. Iv read here and there about the topic on other forums for other vehicles and thought id ask here.
For starters i don't think im too lean because i have a AEM wide-band installed and its never above 15 A/F even at idle its in the 13-14 range. i also have no clue what my timing is set at because the harmonic balancer does not have the timing marks on it so i am at a loss! what would you guys recommend be my next step advance or retard the timing? And also would this same issue cause my carburetor to flood because my car was driving great cruising but then i gave it some gas on a straight away 1-3 gear and when i let off the throttle my car shut off and when i poped the hood the gas was sputtering out of the carb.
Thanks In Advance guys
