. my son in law wraps cars, busses trailers etc. for a living he printed up some stripes and basically put them on one by one using 1/4" and 3/4" tape for spacing, the off color kind of looks cool. trailered it down to my lake property to test and tune roads are terrible around my home, different county. fuel injection work very well starts right up at any temp, seems like its lacking a few h.p. going to turn up the fuel pressure a few points and double check afr ratio's ordering an electric dual fan for the griffen radiator today running slightly warm, about 199 to 203 and its only 70 out. wanna remove the widow maker flex fan anyways since I've seen some of the carnage those things can leave. went that route since I couldn't get the clutch fan to fit, either

thank's I gave it my all, been messing with cars since I don't know when. wanted to do one off the charts, well at least I tried.
yes me too, a 68 coronet rt 4 speed would be my next one if I get up the ambition, and can find one that is.
me too any silver vehicles, my painter friend hates it when I show up.
Truth!
I have been messing with it. the car when hot does about a 1 1/2 turn kinda slow then fires every time I have a mechanical advance in this thinking of changing the springs and possibly double checking clearance from pick up coil.
Sorry if I missed this from before. What are you currently running for timing? How much of each static, mechanical and vacuum advance?
mechanical started at 12 base been timing by high vaccumn and rpm increases have to throw a light on it and check. raining here now have to try tomorrow
stance is stock rear springs with torsion bars lowered down.Nice job. Great stance, love the color.. beautiful ride!
I have mine at 18* static/initial, 18* mechanical and another 12* vacuum. I'm NOT saying my settings are ideal - far from it. But just figured I'd pass these along to give you an idea of what my car is running. Plug your vacuum advance (if you are running ported advance) and at idle experiment a little with the timing and see what it likes. You'll hear the engine run noticeably better when it has timing at idle that it likes. If you are running manifold advance, I'd at least see what your base timing is without the advance and set this to around 12* or so, and then hook up the vacuum advance and see what it move to and go from there. Once you have these set nicely you can start messing with the mechanical advance by revving the engine and see where it goes from there.
