Ok guys. So I set my timing light at 36 degrees. Cranked her up to 3k. And check the timing. (all the vac lines off this time. :P) and well she was at 10 advanced. So I'm guessing that means it was at 46 all in? Yes I know I suck. Lmao. Sooo anyway. I set it at 36. Tightened the distributor. And double, cripple and quadrupled checked it. And it didn't move! So out of curiosity. I put my t light back to zero and checked it at idle. And its at 8 degrees. I haven't got a chance to road test it yet. I had some other projects to button up. But it ideas better. Down around the range of 950rpm. I haven't played with the carb yet. But it's coming. Anything else you guys think I should check? I'll also keep you guys in the loop when I road test it.
Also do you guys know a efficient way to check to see if your v belts are lined up properly? The machinist side came out in me and I had to modify my alt bracket to work with my heads since there is no holes in them. Every once in a while when you goose it. You get a quick belt squeal.
Several years back, maybe before John & Rosie visited, Mike got fed up with work politics and took a week off to come to Kansas. We ran around the KC Metro for 2 or 3 days, and then he took a side...
