I need to post more pictures and videos I will this week just been busy. I put a power steering cooler on it and it's still getting rely hot. It's not smoking any more but I can't touch the hose Idk I'm gonna just keep running it.

I found out tho I'm not hitting the rev limiter tho. I'm either running out of fuel or floating the vavles. I bought a nice 750 Holley that has been gone thru by nickleson performance. Guy said it was on his 400hp 350sbc. My a/f gauge was reading 14.5 then would jump up to 15-16 at 5500 and start popping. I took the bowls off and primary was 74 I put in 77 the secondaries had 84 I put in 85. It's still Got the power valve in it. I ran it again and it's better in the low and mid range reading about 12 - 12.5 but as I increase rpms it leans out and starts popping and won't rev past 5500. I think I need a stiffer spring power valve? ??

The only thing I'm worried about is the lifters every thing in engine is new except for those. Comp cam valve springs. Will a lifter act up at a high rpm and cause this issue? I'm thinking it's fuel related because of what my a/f is saying. What y'all think? Thanks

What size fuel lines, what fuel pump, and what fuel psi are you running?

Mallory marine 4140m pump with matching regulator. #6 line to a pre pump screen then pump then fuel water seperator. Then into the regulator. And I have a separate #6 lines coming out regulator for front and rear bowl.

-6 sounds small to me. I would use -8
What fuel pressure are you running?
Did you set the float heights?

sounds like your running out of fuel at high rpm

edit: -6 may work from regulator to carb, but is to small for a feed line

I haven't watched my fuel pressure. I did adjust the floats. I'm gonna run it again this weekend. I'll watch the fuel pressure. If it stays consistent I figure that would rule out the hose size? I agree -6 is small tho I just don't want to have to redo it lol. I'm gonna go try a stiffer power valve first. I think the air bleeds on this carb have been modded to I need to do some research and see how those work. The afr steadily leans out with the more throttle I give it....
