    What is your timing curve?

    So you have a 3800-5000 stall convertor, the engine won't lock the convertor until it hits that number so why do you have the timing come all in at 2000? Weak springs and a radical idle will cause the timing to bounce around. 4sp? your probably never going to drop that clutch under 3000RPM If...

    What could pinging mean in terms of timing?

    ...at $8 plus a gallon in California. You need to think about these two detonation causing conditions when you are tuning these old engines. 2.5 to 5* of timing may have been OK in 69 but now 55 years later your going to have to tune to the fuel that's readily available. Start out with a good...

    440 runs perfect for 5 seconds, then starts missing. Every time. Help.

    Need help with ignition upgrade

    All 100% Chinese components we've set up and upgraded hundreds of them, the ECU retards the timing 8* (some more) starting at 3200 and by 5200 they fall off to unacceptable output levels. Ballast resisters burn up, most have Aluminum contact caps, poor fitting wiring harness, wrong springs and...
