Low engine vacuum but no vacuum leaks.
Hello everyone, I'm new here.. hoping someone could help me figure this out. So I recently purchased this car which has a 305 SBC in it. The engine starts right up when cold, but hard to start when hot. I already ruled out vapor lock as well as engine vacuum leaks. My vacuum gauge is fluctuating between 5" Hg an 7"Hg.
Also my timing seems to be way advanced at 30* at idle and I can't bring it down without the engine stalling.. I did find tdc and checked harmonic balancer mark. Thanks in advance for your inputs.Last edited by 47Fordcoupe; 07-26-2018 at 09:04 PM.
