So,
I'm running a 1.8L stock Vacuum advance dizzy with single weber (i know...not ideal) and as I've learned the advance curve is wrong for this setup and I have pretty bad lag now before 3000rpm. I swear the engine is running hotter now. Is it because the timing is too retarded in the lower rpm range? does that affect engine temperature? Anyone running a similiar setup with a suggestion as to where to set my timing to get better performance? I don't rev it up much past 4500 Oh, and I just ordered a a centrifugal advance dizzy, if someone is using one of those with a single carb and is having luck, please tell me your settings. Thanks. |

QUOTE BUT with a mech. dizzy, anything you do on the bottom affects the top. it don't take much on the bottom to go over the top Thats why the Mallory Dizzy is my best selling product hands down :-) It allows more timing down low and limited advance up top.. Adding timing down low will TRICK the driver into thinking they are adding power across the board.. My dyno tuning DVD will show just how bad they screw themselves at peak torque and beyond as well as temps. |
