I set my motor up and everything is running great, but I can feel a like it has a lil hesitation.Without throwing a light on it, I cant get rid of it. I know that the distributor is off, just enough to effect perfection.

How have the V8 guys set up there 914's so that they can time them with easy?

Thanks,

no2 builds big tourque as soon as it hits, think about it this way... it's spraying at a constant rate along with fuel so your gonna get the big hit at lower rpm and and not so much at higher rpm.
i dare you to keep a clutch alive spraying it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

i don't like the advance til it pings rule, and the time it by vac can have problems too. you can buy a degreed timming tape that sticks to the ballencer and make or buy an adjustable pointer and get it to tdc find a place that you can mount the pointer on the bottom side and then attach the tape so the poiter is at tdc. then you can put the car on stands or ramps and time it from the bottom [you'll still have to get up ad adjust the diz a little at a time.

best starting point on a average sbc is 36% at 3,000 rpm make sure its all in by then. then goof around with it from there.
