Re: Intermittent power loss (need help troubleshooting please)
Granted, I haven't set the idle yet, but a quick check with the timing light and the vacuum advance disabled indicates 14 degrees before TDC.
The plate under the hood says 4 degrees BTDC, but I see a lot of people on the forum here saying 12 to 14 is fine. |

Still sounds like the carb needs a good cleaning and rebuild.

Re: Intermittent power loss (need help troubleshooting please)
I replaced them yesterday with platinum plugs gapped at 0.035, I think. Will this cause problems with the HEI or is it fine? Can't regap platinum without chipping it, I've been told, but I can always toss them and buy regular plugs if those won't work.
