Sorry, Noel was still logged on....and I can't delete this for some reason
Ok, how? I now understand what Ed was saying about cutting an access hole in the fire wall. What a PITA. I would pull the vacc advance, plug it and rev to 6K. When I would adjust the dizzy it would run worse or better then worse (over the spectrum; bad-good-bad), but it would not move the timing visually. I have a couple of questions: 1. Do I need to adjust the timing to the RS cams that I had installed? 2. What is that value? 3. Anyone want to come down and do it for me? |
