Re: Timing & Gas Milage
Well finally an update - darn Texas Snow last weekend!
The changes are: New Pertronix Flame-Thrower II, New Flame-Thrower Coil & Wires. 12° initial timing, ~900 RPM idle (Park) and ~640 RPM idle (Drive).
60 Mile test drive, great mixed city and highway (Tx Farm Roads up to 70 MPH).
15 MPG!
I after changing my spark wires for the matching Pertronix Flame-Throwers that actually made a noticeable change in how she preformed. Before I'd get this odd power loss between 1st & 2nd / 2nd & 3rd shifting when just getting up to speed (say on a side street, getting up to 30~35). It wasn't a big drop or did it feel she was bogging down - just an odd blip of power loss. So something was up with those wires for sure. I am glad I decided to listen to Pertronix support and bought their wires to match their distributor!!
