First Time Out!!

It's only a 318, a couple of you referred to it as a 360, but it's just a little guy. The fuel mixture was at 10.8 before so I brought the jets down some and it's at 11.4 now. The only issue is I can re-jet before first round of time trials but I won't change them after that because then I won't know where to dial. I have an innovate LM2 that I'm using for air fuel so I can record my passes and examine them after. It's a great tool. It should pick up a tiny bit once it get it leaned a bit more cause it's just too rich right now.

I'm not too sure where the timing is at currently. I have lots in it. Close to 40 total. The distributor is a stock 75 smogger unit. That really doesn't help matters. Lol.

The gears are 4.10's. I'm heading through the traps at about 5800-5900 rpm right now. It's still pulling hard too. I'm pretty sure it looked hard to pull the trans. The headers are hedman so the fitment isn't the best. Maybe I can just pull the right side one cause it's easy.
I don't intend on trying to go any faster except for the fine tuning and a convertor and losing weight right now. That's why I have other projects!!!! This is just something cheaper to play with in the mean time.

The 360 was to the other posters comment about his 360. Might be best if he started his own thread.

A tiny bit rich? That is REALLY rich. What jetting is in the carb? Does it have a metering plate or block on secondaries? If those A/F's are correct, there is a LOT more in it!

The distributor will need to be altered. Those smog distributors usually have a ton of mechanical advance in them. My guess, the engine will like around 16-20 initial timing with total falling where it MPH's best. The greater initial timing setting will help the low end grunt.
