MSD Timing
 
Any one in the east bay who can help me with timing my FE? BACC Help.

Mike, if you can pull your distributor cap/rotor can you see what color springs you have in there? blue, silver, etc...?

Duane,
Are you in the east bay any time soon?

use a blue and light silver spring to start. Set it at 12 btc and not more than 38 degrees total.

Mike,

Go down to Shell across from Petes, ask for the guy who builds the NHRA motors. He lives in Danville and is great, drives a little dodge pick-up. I think his name is Stu.

How's this working out Mike? We talked about this 3 months ago or so. It seems like you'd have it whipped by now. What's it doing (or not doing).

Earth to Mike... What was the verdict? Get this resolved? You and I talked this through on the phone back in Oct. wasn't it?

ERA 626 02-06-2005 03:47 PM
I have it right... 14 at Idle and 38 at 3000 rpm. I think it is more of a carburetion problem.

what's it doing?

Man this is the longest running minor problem thread in history, I tried walking mike through this on the phone back in Oct. It sounded like he had a couple plug wires crossed. Who knows... I give up.

Mike,
It is OK at first I thought it was a timing issue. Now I think my carbs are way to rich.

Mike,
have someone remove the needle/seat in each carb. If your car has been sitting, its possible some junk got sucked up past the filter or lodged loose and sitting in there keeping the needle from shutting all the way.

Does it run rough at idle and clear out when you get on it? What are the symptoms?

ERA 626 03-14-2005 08:01 PM
I installed new air filters and it runs much better. The dirty filters was making it run way too rich.
It is still not perfect but I can live with it the way it is.
