Re: Need help with my first 350 sbc
My first thought when you said the engine is shakey was that maybe you got them too tight. Are you sure that each rocker was off of the cam lobe as you checked them? I usually do it with the motor idling backing off each one until it begins to clack then retighting just until it quiets then 1/4 turn more. As for the initial timing, I usually start at ten degrees and finesse it from there. The idle is different for an automatic transmission vs a manual but around 750ish will be a good starting point.
