Been reading another thread on this forum ( "what qjet to buy?"), and there was some discussion on the block off plates for the intake manifold gaskets. As I have mentioned before, this truck does not have a heat riser valve. I did use the block off plates when I redid the intake manifold gaskets. Could they be causing any issue(s)?
I was also looking up information on HEI vacuum advance, how they work and how to recurve them, when I ran across a page this page: "Adjustable Vacuum Advance And HEI Distributor Recurve". The author states that, as part of the timing procedure, Lars Grimsrud recommends setting total timing at 36 degrees, instead of a base timing and going from there: "How to Set Your Timing for Peak Performance ". What are your thoughts on this? |
The block offs shouldnt be causing this big of an issue.
on my street vehicles I set the timing to where when the engine is warm, it will start smoothly...just a couple degrees before it starts to lug the starter when it tries to fire.
But the method mentioned is a great one.
I would tie the choke open and try it...just to eliminate that. then concentrate on the timing.
