Hard Starting After Warmed Up.....Arrrg

Cruzin said

Are you saying to keep the vacuum advance hooked up and set the timing at 36° at 3000 rpm's...???
I thought the initial timing was to be set at around 12° with the vacuum blocked off.
If that the case. then then I need to set the total timing (36°) with the vacuum still connected ??
I don't know what the initial will be if I do that until I check.

No, initial with vacuum plugged. You might get away with a tad more initial. If you get to a point it kicks back on the starter, you went too far, lol.

Limit the mechanical in the dizzy to get where you want for a total, use a lighter spring on one side so it will come in quicker.


Modifying advance slots
degrees / slot size
6.............. .340
7................355
8................375
9................390
10...............405
11.5 ...........420
12...............435
13...............445
14...............460
15...............475
16...............490
17...............505
18...............520


Say you end up with 14* initial, then you want 18* to 20* mechanical to end up at 32* to 34* total.

To get 18* mechanical you would alter the slot to (9.... .390).


Confused yet?
