When does money outweigh sentimental value? 1968 notchback build thread
Got it dyno'd. Spent 7/1 getting it on the dyno stand and broken in. Made a couple 2-4k pulls today checking vitals, then changed the oil. This afternoon we made some 6K pulls.
Like I said above my main objective was break in a solid flat tappet and not max power. I didn't want to have ignition issues on first startup for fear of flattening the cam. So I wasn't tuning for perfect fuel ratio, timing curve or whatever. It's all changing anyway. We set timing at 36* and afr was 11.9-12.2 for the 6k pulls. It was nerve wracking enough! Holy crap is it nerve wracking!
