Got the 305 out and put the 302 in, runs pretty well.
I am running an edelbrock 600, Hydraulic roller cam .56 lift 236/236 duration. I am in the process of tuning it right now. I have HEI vacuum advance hooked up to the timed port on the carb. The engine has some lope to it, when I advance the distributor to smooth out the idle, it purrs like a kitten and no spark knock. The problem is when I advance the ignition timing this far, it is difficult for the starter to turn over the engine. Here is what I am going to try, please tell me if this makes sense: I was going to put the vacuum advance on the manifold vacuum port, thus giving more advance at idle, I do not think this would affect the initial start up advance, making the starter able to turn the motor over when hot. here are some pics Thanks Mark PS, the car is a bit quicker now, the power comes on at 3000 RPMs, so it is very driveable around town with the power where it needs to be.

Your project is looking awesome!
The Porsche Valve Covers reminded me of AARDEMA Development. Have you seen this Chevy/Porsche V8 Hybrid? |
