Hello, i have a 1968 ford 302 and i'm having a little trouble with the
timing. First of all, the engine was recently rebuilt and i just got it
running. I cant get it to run well unless it is about 30 degrees
advance, where it pulls about 15 inches of vacum. According to the cam
manufacture it should be about 10-14 degrees advance. When i hvae it at
10-14 degreese, it starts a lot harder and idles very roughly and will
stall if i dont give it gas frequently. It only pulls about 5 inches of
vacume. The cam is pretty mild, its a comp cams high energy with .456
inches of lift and 268 degrees of advertised duration. what could the
problem be? any ideas?
