I have built a 1969 400 with a .030 over bore, used a 068 cam #16 heads midly pocket ported with an edelbrock perfromer RPM manifold. It also has headers with a flow master 40's 2.5" inch exhast It seems to go "ok" i just would have expected more seat of the pants feeling from it.
And its an 200r4 automatic with a 2000rpm converter turning a set of posi 3:55 rear gears.
I was thinking about dropping to a set of 2:72 or somthing as 5200 redline comes up fast in each gear! Seems like i should be pulling harder. I'll verify the shift points tonight if it stops raining!
So my questions are what would a good starting point for the jets and what would be a good starting point for timing . WHat should be total advance in by 3300 RPM?


Any help would apriated, my gf says it sounds like its going fast, but its not. Sounds nice idling though nice low rummble from the 40's! lol
