Today I fired up my new engine. sbc 283 +.060. I set the timing a 10* as per the engine builders instructions prior to starting. It took a couple crankings to keep it running. Got it running steady @ 2000 rpm for the 1st 17 minutes and than ran out of gas. Got more gas and than started adjusting the carb using a vacuum gauge. Then I played with the timing using a t-light and ended up at 12* @ 900-1000 rpm with smooth running engine, vacuum advance disconnected. First video is the initial start up, 2nd is after I adjusted carb and timing.
