    the engine seems to run good doesn't stumble at wot, or just off idle? i know a retarded engine will run hot. do you think I may not be running enough timing? if so, how much timing at the crank should I try".
    a vaccum pull dist pull would help try 12 on the crank but make the curve come in fast as you can if you have more av at low rpm BUT DID YOU CHECK THE DAMPER IF IT S AT TDC?? this is the first thing i do on a engine build before the heads get put down for good
