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(pete914 @ Jan 31 2008, 07:33 AM)  single weber I had the same setup on my 1.7 when I purchased it. Worked ok. Then I got a set of used Weber IDF40's and it transformed the engine into something a lot more fun, more HP, and awesome sounding. It's still a turd but runs much much better now. And it looks a lot cooler with the duals. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) |

UPDATE: Wow, got home today and needed to run some errands (I ride my bicycle around town, teener is used for distant errands) and decided to advance the dizzy by ear. Started the car, let it warm up for about 5 minutes. Adjusted the dizzy slightly and the idle smoothed a little. Took it for a test drive and it's pulling in the lower RPM's like it used to now! I'll time it again when I put in the new distributor. Pretty stoked@!
I'm going to try to get dual's next...if anyone has a set, I'm looking. Want to have everything ready to go for the spring (isn't that what everyone says? haha). Very satisfying to start understanding these concepts. Thanks guys. ps- Jake, when I get out of dental school, I'm going to be calling you for a rebuild (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) |
