I've been working through several bugs, but I think I almost have it tuned just right.
I drove the car for the first time a little over a month ago....throttle response was insanely different. HP and torque were incredible!
Car left me stranded 2 times in 3 days....once due to a bad ground. Fixed with 2 heavy duty ground straps. Then the seond time due to a fried ignition module. Replaced that....
Then I started playing with the timing curve trying to get a little more....obviously went the wrong way with the recurve kit....should have used medium springs and kept the stock HEI weights.....now that those are back in.... along with a 65000 volt coil.
Holley accelerator pump quite working. Replaced diaphram and figured out it was the accelerator pump valve. Replaced the valve and set timing by setting total mechanical advance to 32 degrees then connecting the vacuum advance to ported. Once that was done it's rained everytime I've thought about taking the car out for a test run. When I do get the chance I'll advance timing 2 degrees at a time until I hear ping under load or feel a decrease in power, then back it down 2 degrees.
