setting timing
By Dan Blaske - 10/01/2003 4:17:50 PM; IP 24.53.221.113
Well, Our father in law bought a '70 mustang with a '69-'73 351 windsor 2valve engine and 3 speed manual tranny. It had a bent push rod so I threw in a set of roller tip rockers and new push rods...also put in new points, msd cap/rotor and coil.
The problem is probably going to found in the points adjustment and the ignition timing, as this technology is foriegn to me...we mostly work on newer vehicles at our shop.(the sensor/computer controlled era of cars)
Right now I am experiencing some slight back firing through the smallish 2 bbl. carb. Timing is at 18 degrees>>tested with the vaccum advance still connected and at idle. If I try to bring the timing closer to the 6-10 degrees that I have found is the specs. for the motor...it runs rough and will run worse than the 18 degrees I am at right now.......what did I miss or what would you do? Please help me>>Dan-The Specialty shop
This thread, so far...
