i have a 88 chrysler 5th avenue and i hooked a tach to it it pops and carrys on over 3k wont rev up right sometimes its falls on its face pulling out i adjusted the carb its a lil better but not what it should be it sat for 5years before i got it im thinking i need to rebuild the carb or could it be the points i dont know to much about dodges i am a chevy man but im interested in fixing this up

 

Did it start popping and carrying on after you hooked up the tach?

To help us understand your problem better, would you mind using a little punctuation.

 

well it did pop before. it has 90k miles i been told the cam and lifters are bad could it be?

 

It does seem like a timing issue.

Has it gotten worse over time, or does it seem like it's the same?

Are there any driving conditions that make it worse (such as full throttle, highway cruising, street-level stop and go).

 

Being it sat for 5 years, it could be a carb, fuel issue, try changing the filter and run a couple of tanks of premium (93 octane) and a bottle of Sea Foam in her, if there are any gummy deposits in the carb and lines that should clean it out. My 84 5th Ave had similar issues it sat for 18 months before I got her, and that cleared up her problem.

 

i used seafoam and gumout cleaner too i adjusted the carbs alot both needles were out about 4turns it seems to be running better i checked the timing 8* im debating on a 4bbl but i also thought of lower gears how do i find out what gears it has is it stamped on the housing? therye airplane gears i know that i may get headers too and throw out those dang resignators!

 

it hit 4k without popping too i dont think its gonna get anymore with the 2bbl

 

hey just wanted to let everyone know i rebuilt the carb the dang accelorater pump cup was shot replaced it and the power valve and mix sol o-ring and revs 4500 now!!!!

 

i had a 1984 ply 318 2 barrel . it put black on the plugs. it had a cracked intake intake, letting exhaust in to the intake. the give away is the the plugs are black. if you go to a 4 barrel intake, the carb cable and the linkage must be swapped to the 4 barrel ones. if you dont the carb cable will bind, and might hold the carb open.
