    What is your timing curve?

    Is this a all out race engine?

    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?

    It takes 2 conditions to make an engine detonate too much HEAT and PRESSURE if either one of these conditions is not present then it wont detonate. The lower the fuel octane, higher the combustion chamber temps the more susceptible to detonation. I believe you said this was a 69 engine? Do you...

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

    I'm with AR67, Take off the Air Cleaner, look in the carb, watch the booster for dripping fuel. At idle there should be no fuel dripping from the booster. Check the float levels, make sure your Idle Air Bleeds are not plugged (the outer ones) Pull the plugs and look for the anomaly it show as...

    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...

This is NOT an argument for ported or constant it is a clear and exact article on how the different vacuum sources work, their specific applications and how they affect your timing...

    Ported or Constant Vacuum Source? ... Again

    It's Not a debate, unless you have emissions control and cats it goes to constant and that's not debatable.

    68 RR Still won't start

    Start with a Volt Meter + side of coil cranking 10-12V + side of coil in run position 5-7V If your using the ballast resistor. I have never used starting fluid on any gas engine and never would. Few Tips..... *You can use your timing light and clip it on each wire and crank the engine it will...

    Ported or Constant Vacuum Source? ... Again

    I found this article on ChevelleStuff.Net I don't know the author so I can't give valid credit. I have tried to explain this theory to 1000's of callers over the years and most get it. However, there's still a constant stream of posts all over the web that still want to argue about how the...
