ok i have a few questions about my car. first it is a 85 gsl (i think, it has se badge but came with 12a and 4 by 110 wheels) but i put a 6 port 13b i pieced together in it. they are s4 na irons and internals with s4 turbo housings with a large street port using pineapples templete. i have racing beat exhaust intake and 45dcoe on it also. first question is only 60 psi on my build when shut off but plugs are wet probably fouling. when i shut fuel pump off and let it run out of fuel its 85psi. with a few drops of oil its 100psi. is this ok with 80 miles and used housings.
second question is when i take out my compression tester there is a slight mettallic residue on it. is this normal.
third is any suggestion on jets for carb
and im running msd with 2 coils for primary and running leading through cap still
4th question is my cas doesnt seem to stab right. each tooth seems a bit off. i ended up grinding slot to advance to where i wanted to.
ive only built two other rotary engines but they were with all new, jhb, or lapped parts for my t2's. i never had these issues arise..............thanks

im sorry i forgot to say. the reason im asking about jets and such for carb is at light throttle it shakes and bucks but let of its ok or give more gas its ok. im thinking it may be where idle jets transition or something. im new to weber. i have a wideband on one of my t2's but should i just wait for 1000 miles before i even bother trying to smooth it out. im sorry for all the questions but im drunk and thinking any input would be great

1. Sounds like it's a GSL that someone rebadged as an SE. If the main hard fuel line coming out of the tank is ~7/16", then it may have been an SE. This larger line size carries under the body from the pump to the firewall as the SE's had the largest supply line of ANY of the 7s, including the FDs, (approximately 3/8"). Begining in 86 the pumps were changed and the supply lines downsized to ~ 5/16"

2. Changing the suspension over to the 4X110 bolt pattern is just plain silly. No reason to downgrade it except for extra cash.

3. A 45 mm OER is a bit small for any 13B, even worse for a ported one.

4. There shouldn't be any 'metallic' residue on your comp tester. That is never a good sign. Maybe you should remove and cut open the oil filter.

5. 80 psi is not uncommon on that fresh of a rebuild with used housings and that short of a breakin time.

5. If you're using a cas, what are you using for engine/ignition management?

6. Sober up before reposting.

1. it is a gsl. i had to drill out top of sending unit to change to 5/16 return line
3. its what racing beat sold me as an upgrade to carb a 13b so it kinda sucks if its inadequate
4. i drained the oil at work today and it looked a bit dark. i poored it on a white paper floor mat and when shining a flashlight on it you could see a few sparkly specs in it but nothing a magnet semed to pick up
5. im sorry its a distributor from i believe 82 with 3 coils 2 msd blasters for leading and 1 stock for trailing and msd box controling primary
6. ya sorry bout that

so, timing problem was the wires leading to the msd box from what was once leading ignitor was taped to trailing wire to coil and must have been getting interference. rerouted and all is fine. i never thought that could happen, but am glad its fixed
