On my 2.7 /6 I am having an issue starting my engine. It makes a scary noise when cranking the starter. The engine does start after a few tries.

I have dual Weber IDA 3c that have been completely rebuilt. The engine runs fine after starting however a bit on the rich side. I have a 123ignition distributor and I am trying to figure out the correct advance curve. I know that if the ignition is too advanced you can get an issue like this. I have tried setting the advance to 2 degrees at 500rpm and 10 at 1000rpm- the sound is worse. The video is when I had the distributor set at 2 at 200rpm and 6 at 1000 which I really doubt is too advanced. Also- it was pretty cold outside- about 25f.

Also- what kind of muffler do I have? I normally use an MK muffler but I needed something fairly quite while I am getting my car dialed in. I have been irritating my neighbors quite a bit.
