comp test was perfect, so i used a friends timing light just to be sure mine wasnt bad... boy was it off!!! initial was at 25 and total was over 50.... i did check the marks with the num 1 plug out at tdc and they are in place so im in high hopes that this change will fix it, its getting a pan a vac evac this weekend anyway.. set total timing at 34 degrees and it def likes it...

so i guess because i run 110 fuel thats why it didnt ping??



Last 440 I saw that ran around that way for a little while, ripped the mains right out of the block. The spot where the main bolts thread in, just broke.

The guy set his timing by ear, and he said he ran race gas because he liked the way it smelled. I believe he had 55 degrees in it.

anyway good catch, hope no other damage was done.
