Ok so I have been driving my new 2056 with dual webers an a SVDA dizzy with electronic ignition. Timing is set at 30 btdc. It seems like when I am on the interstate the temp gauge seems to ride at about 75% of the way toward hot.
The flaps should be set correctly and the thermostat seems to be allowing the flaps to move completely. As it moves toward hot I notice a lot of pinging. Plugs don't seem to be running hot or lean by looking at them. I am going to look at the flaps with my scope to verify the position but what to check after that? |
