RE: help with my FE, please.......
By John W - 05/12/2003 6:06:55 AM; IP 198.81.26.74
Chase L, even with a mild cam like a RV Cam, I need to add the adjustable valve train? where do I get this and how hard is it to add? I have never done a job like that, but have done most everything else on a motor, so I should be able to handle it......I HOPE ! lol

what about timing? how much timing can a FE handle? I've been told by some NEVER go beyond 14 or so degrees, and others say 20 or so is fine.......who's right? I do not know how to check total advance, how do I do that? I have the timing set by disconecting the vacume, plugging it off and advancing or retarding the distributor to XX number of degrees.......in my case 12 right now.

thank you all for all the help, I may just have to keep this thing now and NOT use it for target practice as I was thinking before! lol

 Sounds like the timing is not advanced far enough. -- Royce Peterson, 05/07/2003
 Add advance; make sure power valve is for high altitude. [n/m] -- Mr F, 05/12/2003
