New life for an old 340 (stock stroke)
I'm happy to report that the engine is alive and well. Had the chance to dyno it this evening. Broke the cam in and proceeded to put 15 pulls on it mainly testing carbs and spacers. Found some interesting things with this combo. First surprise was the fact that it liked 32 degrees total timing best. It did not like 34 or 30. Thirty-two was the majic number. All testing was performed on Ultramar 91 and I am really impressed with this fuel. The engine started and shut off perfectly with my go to locked out Lean burn distributor--it even smelled abnormally good. Next post will contain more info. J.Rob
