Problem was in the transmission. This problem seems to cleared itself.
Now, same engine will not go over 2100 r's. After hittin 2100 wants to bog down and backfires. ?????
any help is welcomed.

I'M TRYING EVERYTHING, SEEMS THE COIL IS HEATING UP AN CUTTING OUT AFTER A GOOD RUN. CHECKING EVERYTHING, DON'T NO Y OR WHAT WOULD CAUSE IT ?

SHOULD BE 5/16".

AS OF NOW ITS NOT BOTH ENGINES. BUT, FIRST CAPTAINS GUY GOT PORT RUNNING GOOD. DONT WANT TO MESS WITH A GOOD THING.
(GREMLINS ARE FUNNY GUYS) FOUND OUT THE BASE OF THE CARB WAS LEAKIN, ADDITIONAL VACUME. GOING TO TRY A THICKER GASKET AND SEAL IT WITH PERMATEX. HOPE IT WILL WORK.

GOT FIRST CAPTAINS SERVICE TO CHECK OUT. LANCE WAS VERY GOOD. STILL HAVE PROBLEM. ??? DON"T NO.
STRANGEST THING I EVER CAME ACROSS. DON"T NO WHAT ELSE TO DO? HELP!!!!

OK, THE CARB WAS JUST REDONE. SOME ELSE SAID SOMETHING ABOUT THE INTAKE GASKET BLOCKING OFF THAT PORT ALSO.
BUT I STILL HAVE THE OLD STYLE HEAT SPRING FOR THE CHOKE. GOT CARTER AFB'S.

props are good. 18/19.

Hi, I have a 1977 chrysler 360 in my F-36, start up fine ,after you run at 2800 and gets hot, when you slow down and put in N then put in gear it dies. New-cap, rotor, wires, coil, ballast resistor, ecm, fuel pump, pcv, fuel/water seperator, rebuilt carb, (DRIVING ME NUTS) cannot figure out why? yes...

IT SEEMS I MAY HAVE A CARB PROBLEM. WHEN I START UP RUNS GREAT FROM 750 - 3000 RPM RUNS FINE, WHEN I OPEN UP TO 3200 RPM THE 4 BARREL KICKS IN AND I GET A CONSTANT LITTLE BACKFIRE , SOUNDS LIKE A MACHINE GUN. POP,POP,POP,POP,POP. WILL NOT GO OVER 3200. I WAS RUNNING 34-3600. NOT SURE WHAT IT COULD B...

THANKS FOR THE REPLY. ITS DRIVING ME NUTS.
I WILL LOOK INTO BOTH.

HAS ANYONE HAD THIS PROBLEM ?
1977 360 CHRYSLER WITH ECM. NO POINTS.

THANKS'.

guy's , I seem to have developed a slight vibration at cruising speed 3000 rpm.
just started , not sure where to look, not sure where its coming from?

I appreciate all the help. We will see.

Tachs seem fine. when at idle they are right on 650.
Upper and lower stations are the same. Engines run great. Just not the speed.
Seems there should be some way to size the correct prop based on engine,trans, shaft.
Shaft is 1 3/8".
?

THANKS FOR RESPONDING. THE F-36 IS A 1974. THE ENGINES ARE 1977. IT IS A SEDAN/CONVERTIBLE W/FLY BRIDGE, I LOOKED YESTERDAY THE TRANS IS 1:91:1. I COULD NOT GET THE MODEL NUMBER, WORN OFF. WOT-PORT 3200, WOT-STARBOARD 3600. WITH THAT WOT RPM I'M LOOKING AT 16.4KNTS WITH CLEAN BOTTOM. AND THAT'S PUSH...
