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. |

As far as timing a mallory is concerned. I have one from Jake as well. my problem is static timing before firing the engine the first time. as in, the engine was apart and now back together and I can't figure out which way the rotor should point for what cylinder. I know both valves closed on #1 means it's getting close to TDC, but my engine was assembled poorly and i think it's 180* off. so i'm actually timing for #3 TDC i wish someone from houston would help me get this thing running again. i'm at my wit's end. it'll stumble a little when starting trying to get going, but then go back to cranking and never catching. please someone help me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) i'm about to load it onto a trailer and have someone else time it for me. mike callas at rennsport in sealy,tx
