I remember getting a carb from Pony carburetor for my Mustang. This guy does all kinds of Ford carbs and is the resident expert. At any rate he sends a video with his product. He feels the harmonic balancer in general and Ford products in particular are so bad that initial timing needs to be set be ear etc rather than using a timing light. He give instructions on how to do it and all that.

Don’t really know if that is relevant – I am sure you used an after market product when you built your engine. Still it may be a weaker point than we generally think about.

Are you going to fix it next weekend? Do you need a hand?
