everything is good and well with my car, just one thing
whenever i'm in the powerband in my engine (2500-5500) and i proceed to engage full throttle action, i get this wierd racheting sound coming from the engine bay.... my first worry was that the timing was way off....I adjusted it and the dwell and nothing has changed.... |

well yeah. i can floor it from idle to around 2500-3000 rpm without the sound
even in lower gears, most of the time it doesnt make the sound. higher gears is different story... is there a way that the weights in the dizzy could over extend themselves and bang against the case? wait...the vac adv/retard isnt hooked up... i dunno how detonation sounds at speed. i thought it was a ping sound. could the timing be way off? timing is presently at 0deg at 3500rpm...runs great, except at full throttle. |
