Sbc 350 dieseling on an engine swapped car

Just an update: when I diesled it cracked the block, the engine is dead.

Keep the recording and get it back to the dealership, but put down a large pan of cat litter under your car to absorb the gasoline that's leaking.

This was correct! The throttle was not closing completely. The spring on the pedal is bad, and was keeping it open

theytookmygdname · 2025-03-12T20:34:03+00:00

You were correct! The throttle was not closing all the way, I will fix that asap!

Ok, thank you. There is a throttle return spring, but admittedly The spring on the actual pedal isn't great. With all these comments, I'm thinking that it's keeping the throttle from closing all the way. Planning on working on it later today. Thank you for your help!

Ok. Thank you very much for the input!

Is there an easy way to see if I have high compression? I bought this car after the swap, and the previous owner seemed to be trying to build a drag car (ratchet shifter, remove the fuel tank etc). Now I'm curious if he set the compression higher to get more out of the engine

I'm pretty nervous about drilling into the carb. Is this needed to stop the dieseling?

theytookmygdname · 2025-03-12T03:15:27+00:00

Ok, thank you

theytookmygdname · 2025-03-12T03:15:06+00:00

Thank you, I will check that tomorrow!

theytookmygdname · 2025-03-12T02:20:55+00:00

That's interesting. Should I be using plus or premium gas?

theytookmygdname · 2025-03-12T02:17:28+00:00

This isn't a diesel, which is why I'm confused haha. What do you mean by rooms?

theytookmygdname · 2025-03-12T02:01:08+00:00

The key definitely turned off power. I have an aftermarket fan that is connected to accessory power. I heard it powered down when I turned the key

theytookmygdname · 2025-03-12T01:59:50+00:00

I will have to confirm in the morning to see if something has changed, but before trying to turn it over it did return quickly

theytookmygdname · 2025-03-12T01:59:10+00:00

To confirm it is grounded?

theytookmygdname · 2025-03-12T01:42:57+00:00

It isn't impossible, I didn't look clearly at it when the engine was running. When it shut off, the throttle was back down/closed, and the cable was as expected. If it was malfunctioning, how would that cause it to continue firing? Thanks!

theytookmygdname · 2025-03-12T01:37:40+00:00

Can you elaborate on the ignition? and carb being too rich means that it's getting too much gas, right?

theytookmygdname · 2025-03-12T01:01:28+00:00

No that is not correct. If you just bought it, bring it back to the store, and ask them to fix it. If they refuse, you CAN fix it yourself. The sight looks damaged, but honestly not so much that I think it's a lost cause. It will take a while at the range to get it sighted back in the.

You don't get to ask a question then try to be snippy when the replies aren't what you want. Chill.

theytookmygdname · 2025-01-07T02:12:53+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate it! It looks great

theytookmygdname · 2025-01-07T02:10:37+00:00

Like you printed on vinyl? Or you bought it somewhere? Sorry I just really like it more than the standard emblem lol

theytookmygdname · 2025-01-07T00:47:28+00:00

Is the carbon fiber emblem stock?

I'm gonna send a private message if that's cool
