Timing Question
By Rod Mauldin - 09/29/2000 12:14:22 PM; IP 216.54.224.144
I have a 62 galaxie x 352 2v. I just recently rebuilt the engine. Ever since I got the car in 1984 and after being rebuilt. When I set the timing to slightly advanced the engine runs rough. "Rough" being when holding the throttle at a steady speed (above idle) it sort of spits.This is especially noticeable when standing at the rear of the car and listening to the exhaust. If I lower the timing to normal or slightly below normal. It doesn't do this.However it bogs down when you accelerate. So to get proper acceleration I must set the timing on the high side. Does anybody have a clue as to what is causing this? I was wondering if it might be a problem in the dual advance distributor.
Thanks!
