Drilled holes in the tubing to put pins just above each weight. This way, I could add whatever amount of weight I wanted, where I wanted.. Even passed tech. Just have to have the correct size pins or bolts. If I can find a pic, I will post it.. Chris..

I'm not sure I will need to use it, but if I do, at least I'll have it.. Also, I've always been curious how much timing you can take out and not hurt the motor, so this seemed like the perfect opportunity to fish for an answer.. 73 Duster 360 stroker http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2594657

Hopefully, everything stays calm around here and we can hit up the Friday night TnT at Sac.. Thanks for your help Al... 73 Duster 360 stroker http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2594657

I tried slowing down a friends car with timing... we pulled 6 or 8 degrees and it slowed very little... it tends to burn way to hot in the pipes... dont know what its doing to the exhaust valves and seats
