    Initial timing too advanced

    Pulled engine and got into timing chain last night. Someone got confused on which mark to use. Cam is advanced about 4 teeth. I’m surprised it would even run.

    Initial timing too advanced

    I have checked timing marks. Used a piston stop. Confident spark timing is reading correctly. No vacuum leaks that I can find using carb/choke cleaner. We have decided to pull engine. The steering box is leaking, small oil leak from engine also. He wants to inspect engine internals, and I will...

    Initial timing too advanced

    I started with a new MP distributor. I set total timing at 36 degrees and using a FBO limiting plate, the initial was 26 degrees. It came with 1 spring on 1 of the advance weights, and would hit total advance around 1750 rpm. Also as stated above, the timing was jumping around as much as 10...

    Tach Light

    Thanks for the help guys. I bought the tach and a wiring harness for it at the same time, but it did not come with a light socket, only the power wire and the lead for the tach signal. I will have to pull some receipts to figure out where I bought it from and check into the missing plug.

    Tach Light

    I have added a tachometer to the gauge cluster on my 68 Road Runner. It has a provision for a back light but the hole is completely round instead of having "notches" like the other gauges have. Anyone have any info on what I need to add this light?
