    I did not see anyone mention that you have to disconnect a wire on the firewall . Then set timing to "0" after that reconnect wire that will set timing I believe the wire is brown with white strip it has a plug in it so you can disconnect it.

    47Fordcoupe recently purchased this car which has a 305 SBC in it. ??? hahaha. Lotys of if's to this...

    What else should I explain? This is a pretty stock engine aside from a Edelbrock carb and intake, and I also explained this: "I already ruled out a harmonic balancer ring slip. Found tdc with a piston stop and made a new mark on the balancer. Installed a 1" wood carb spacer, , heat shielded the starter and solenoid, fuel pump and fuel line, installed new spark plugs/wires, new distributor rotor,coil and cap. Idle timing is set at 30* and it won't decrease without stalling."

    Thank you all for your help
