As far as timing I have had it just about everywhere you can put it. Ive not adjusted the mechanical advance or the vacuum advance on this new distributor yet. I can adjust it by ear and it will sound great and run great for a while. Then suddenly it wont idle good and is back to even less power. I did get a hesitation on take off when I changed cams and adjusting the pump shot does not help so Im sure the carb does need some tuning for this cam. But still the thing just has no power and its driving me crazy. I really do not know what else to do.
give us spomething to work with.
cam? whats the dur at .05?
compression?
what type carb? new or used?
did you degree the cam in when it was installed?
Are all of the plugs firing? Feel the exhaust to see if each tube is hot.
what is the idle vacuum?
an actual timing number would help more than just saying its been adjusted everywhere.
What ignition system are you running?
It's got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas.
