Wet plugs on one side....

Jody Lang · 03-27-2014, 04:26 PM

Wet with fuel, dry on the other bank. Idles fine just making no heat on the one side.

Stocker with dual plane manifold.

Any ideas?

This is just being ran in the shop, not after making a pass.

Wet from oil or gas ?

I had a bad MSD 7AL2 that caused something similar. I tried 2 carbs, plugs, a set of wires before I stumbled on to it.

Fuel.

This is a buddies car so I might not have all the correct answers.

Thanks

I've had something plug up the idle circuit and do something like that on a small block ford.

Shouldn't affect just one head with a dual plane intake.

What kind of distributor does it have in it?

sounds like the intake gasket is leaking to me...

Not too much else that could cause this.
Ignition would have to drop every third, then every second cylinder, etc, consistently.
