1963 Chevy Ii Station Wagon Tune Up Graph
|
The wagon laid down 236 hp and 283 lb-ft of torque on its initial pull, but we hoped to improve those numbers by dialing in the timing and air/fuel ratio. A paper air filter, composite flex fan, and a heat-holding tight engine bay could be sapping some power from the crate engine, but we also have to keep in mind this car runs the overdriven 700-R4 transmission, which is known to soak up more power than a standard three-speed auto. For the most part, Mena said the wagon’s numbers were adequate, but he discovered after one pull that it was incredibly lean (15.6:1) at low rpm so a jet change was in order. View Related Article
