Here's the Instructions for start up on my crate motor:
Start the engine and adjust the initial timing. Set the ignition timing to 15° before top dead center (BTDC) and
the engine idle to 950 RPM (ZZ572/620) or 1200 RPM (ZZ572/720R) with a timing light and the vacuum disconnected
and plugged. Rotate the distributor counterclockwise to advance the timing. Rotate the distributor
clockwise to retard the timing. Leave the vacuum advance disconnected
Here's a photo of that motor taken when I unwrapped it in the shipping crate. Unless I'm completely delusional that looks suspiciously like a distributor with 8 plug wires all neatly connected and loomed. But , of course I could be just dreaming and none of that stuff actually arrived in my Garage!  |
That's a beauty! I came very close to getting one, if I hadn't just bought $1,200 worth of tires I would have done it! I will be content with my 350, I guess! But damn the more I think about it I wish I had just done it!
