So, I have a 1979 Chevy 350 sb engine I’m working on !!
I’m assuming it is SO screwed up I don’t know where to start.
The main issue is when I put the timing light (a innova digital timing light) I find that the mark is about 7:00 on the balancer??? That bothers me. The engine will start and run but when it gets HOT and I go to start it again it sounds like the starter is eating the engine or flywheel. This is a second engine install and the first one, a 327sb did the same thing only the timing mark was within the 2-3:00 position around the gauge at least. It’s a simple setup with old school points and Carter 4732s carburetor. No electronic ignition or anything modern to deal with. Where should I start??
