    Question wellllllll its been awhile..........(.tuning 327?)

     



    And even though I made it through auto mechanics II in Votech school Ive misplaced my mental notes (see oltimerz disease ) I finally drove my66 Jimmy, it ran pretty well till I stepped on it, then it sputtered a lil bit, not sure where to begin.. Im thinking carb may not be right.
    the 68' 327 motor has Edelbrock 1406 carb and performerRPM manifold, Headers and flowmasters,it has a lopey cam but not sure of lift or duration or brand, It also had HEI but coil was burnt up,so I put stock distributor in it with new points, coil, plugs cap and rotor. parts that I had on shelf.
    the HEI coil burned up because of too small power wire.
    could the timing still be off a lil bit cause this??
    what Dwell should I Set it to? How much Advance should I begin with??
    Thanks In advance,

    thanks Denny,

    I used to drag race but that was 25 yrs ago.. I traded for the GMC last october. the wiring was(IS) still a nightmare but im getting it worked out. I asked in a suspension post about the power steering ( you can spin the wheel, it has no resistance)
    since Im computer Illiterate I was unable to shrink my photos of gear box and pump enought to get them posted..
    Do you know anything about this?? I was able to get photos in my album under Project Rat ride.
    would you mind looking at them and taking a guess as to what it came out of?
    my guess is early 70's truck.
    thanks again
