timing
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? |
