200ci Degree the cam?

Question:

• Are you able to post the rear axle code from the vin tag?

I would like to check what the original axle ratio is.

Added:
I read in one of your posts a while back that you were talking about the possibility of removing the 7.5” rear and replacing it with an 8” rear. Did you change out the rear?

Original rear end was 3.20. Yes I installed an 8”. 3.55

Thanks for posting.
It’s so important to post as much detail about a vehicle as possible. Changes to the drivetrain can make a considerable difference.

Give us two readings.
3” vacuum. Start at 2,500 rpm’s and get readings at 3,000 rpm and 3,500 rpm’s
Try third gear. If third gear is too low or high, then try a different gear

Third gear WOT at 2500 rpm. Vacuum dropped to 1”, at 3000-3”, at 3500-4”.
It hit 3” at 3,000 rpm

The carb is too small.
I’m going through some options right now and will post them later today.

Updates on what Sprint?

Oops. Sorry. I don’t know what I’m doing. I was waiting for suggestions from you on carb.

Did you figure out what course of action that you want to take with carburetion?

We know that the small log manifold is restricted. Did you want to keep the small log head stock, modify it for a 2 Barrel carb or find a large log head and modify it for a 2 barrel carb?
