Re: Getting the timing adjusted.
The distributor is brand new. Never modified. I bought it from Rockauto.
I expect some of you will give me negative feedback for buying a distributor from Rockauto.
I reduced the initial timing from 12° to 9° of advance. The timing with the vacuum line connected also dropped 3° as expected.
At operating temperature it starts right up and idles fine at 750 RPMs after doing a little idle screw and throttle adjustment. I will see how easily it starts cold tomorrow. I don’t mind if it needs a little choke.
I took it out for a drive and it runs just fine. No stumble. No pinging. It seems to need a little more throttle to get going smoothly from a standstill, but that may be the only change I’ve noticed. I pulled a hill that was half mile long in fifth gear with no pinging. I was lugging the engine on purpose. If I should pull the hill at higher RPMs instead, just let me know.
