    Hi brother i run a msd 6010 on my ls2 6.0 24x. ( NO MAP SENSOR ). pro system 1000cfm carburetor mild cam and spring's i ordered the smart ls with the adapter harness for my 6010 harness. Do I need a laptop to start my car? Or do I use the sitting on the box and just start the motor?? If I only need the sittings on the box to start. CAN you send my those sittings THANK YOU.

    Will the stage 1 cam need to be tuned? If it doesn’t will it pass a clean smog in California, rebuilding engine and thinking of putting stage 1 cam but don’t want to have to worry about doing a dirty smog. thank you in advanced

  • @NightWrencher

    Any camshaft with require a tune and thus fail a clean smog test. The PCM with read misfires at idle and the check engine light will turn on. I do not recommend replacing your cam if you plan to clean smog your vehicle

    Another note, with electric choke, if your high idle screw is in too far, as in all the way like mine was, it will not allow your curb idle to be set properly. You may think that the choke system has nothing to do with these adjustments because you are doing it when its hot, but it does. Your high idle adjustment holds open the butterfly just a tickle on choke. If it doesn't kick out all the way after warm, it will continue to hold that butterfly open at idle, thus exposing your transfer slots too much. This will render your curb idle and idle mixture screws useless. It will cause surging at idle and cause a stumble off idle as well. You should be able to kill the engine by turning the curb idle out too much. If you can't, theres a problem. Once your curb idle is set, you should be able to kill the engine by screwing in the idle mixture screws all the way. If this doesn't happen, your engine is recieving fuel from somewhere it should not be(ie: transfer slots that are too exposed) On the other side of the spectrum, make sure your choke butterfly is opening all the way when hot. If this doesn't happen, you will be trying to adjust everything while slightly choked. I am aware other things may cause these same symptoms, this is just one example of tail chasing that I experienced. Hopefully this helps someone as I beat my head against the wall trying to figure this out. This was on a 4160 carb that I got for free that was "running when parked" lol

    I am an old buzz box guy but had welds that looked like 2/3rd welds there. Now know what I am doing wrong from your video. My gun angle is the issue. I was 15 degrees measured from the incorrect vertical plane not the horizontal plane. I had the old buzz box angle. Thanks for this.

    318s typically have low compression heads which is why the engines last so long. Swap the heads, do hedders and a dual exhuast and you will have plenty of power without the price tag of a 340 and get better mileage than a 360.

  • @NightWrencher
    @NightWrencher4 күн бұрын

    For a street set up you wanna go with a smaller carb for better response and efficency. With that being said, a smaller carb on a big engine is harder to tune so if you want something easier, a proform 750 with minimal tuning would be a good choice

    I just purchased the 200 ! Your video was reassuring ! Question : I thought I could mig weld with the flux wire, and not have to use shielding gas such as Argon with this unit. Am I wrong ? Do I need the gas ? Some post say yes, some say no & my Chinese sucks ! Also, is it better to use 220 vs 110. ? Thanks ! Great video !

  • @NightWrencher
    @NightWrencher5 күн бұрын

    Hey bud, if youre running flux core wire, there is no need to add gas mix to it unless you are trying to weld with dual shield which is only used in industrial settings. I have run the machine exclusively on 110 and it has welded well up to .125" plate steel. I have not tried to weld thicker metal yet

  • @NightWrencher

    stock 6.0 makes about 320whp or about 380 at the crank. At 15 lbs of boost you'll make about 640whp or about 860 at the crank. Swap to 799/LS1/LS6 heads for more compression, You dont need a super crazy cam to get you to 400whp so pick one that sounds good to you and put about 18lbs down with the turbo. The block can take it.
