tuning 350
Hi Guys
Greetings from New Zealand. I have recently bought a jet boat running a 350 chev which would not idle and was very difficult to start. Engine has 4150 holley. I found a major vacuum leak which I fixed. I think the timing is also well out. A timing light suggests that the timing is set at 0 degrees (with vacuum advance connected). What should the timing be set at? Do I disconnect the vacuum advance when setting it? Also what is a recommended dwell angle? Engine is still difficult to start when cold. I'm considering a MSD CD ignition box to solve this problem. Apologies for the basic questions- any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
