OK I checked my timing at idle 1,000 rpm (9" of Vacuum) I have 12 deg. At 2000 rpm I have 22-24 with a max of 38 at about 3,500 - 4,000 Rpm. I turned the dist about 10 deg back and forth and it made no difference with the sputter I was getting ready to change my primary jets from 79's - 84's so I pulled my fuel pump fuse to run the bowls dry while the fuse was pulled and the engine running in neutral I ran the motor up to get rid of fuel faster and the sputter was gone so I think I have my fuel pressure too high. I have it set at 7-lbs Holley says it should be between 7 and 7 1/2 lbs But I am running a Russel gauge ( a schucks screaming cheapy) so I don't trust it I will let you know what happens. does my timing sound about right?
