Car has buck Tag and has Nevada Title from about 10 years back claiming 72,000 actual miles, car has about 77,000 now.
I am wondering, my k-code engine seems to fall flat like any other 289 at around 5000 rpm... do any of you actually rev your k-codes and if so, do they pull hard to 8000 rpm?
The Engine has all the correct internals, and is running headers, and a holley carb... I would guess its running out of fuel, or air, or spark ( timing )...
I guess getting a look at the plugs ( color/condition )
Bench testing Distributor for advance
Check fuel pressure for major drop off...
And carburator operation, would be good first steps...
Any other ideas would be appreciated, I dont often drive it hard, but I would like to take it to the nostalgic drags once or twice a year.
