What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?
I'm going to keep messing with the tune on my car after work today! I have learned so much over the last couple years and I must credit the great folks on FABO for almost all of it?
I am 45 years old, and I am at the point in my hot rodding life that many of you were in your teens. When I started I could not get the carb to respond to changes like I was told it should, but I kept at it! I could not get the timing changes to respond like I was told they should, but I kept at it! Slowly but surely I am creeping up on having it run like I feel it is supposed to. It starts like a fuel injected car, It drops about 150 to 200 rpm when I put it in gear, It pulls noticeably harder than it did!
I was starting to think you all were full of **** with some of the 1/4 mile times you were posting with similar builds, the best I could muster was 15.3 at 94 mph. Unfortunately the track here is closed and may not open this year so I may not be able to test that. I need to get the new wiring set for my timing light so I can finalize the total timing and idle timing. Idle was real good then I connected my vacuum advance and it runs even smoother and nicer but now idles over 1000 rpms again, I like it about 900.
This car and the time the pandemic allows me to mess around with it has been so therapeutic. This site too, no one I am real close to is in to cars the way I am, but I come here and it's great. Thanks so much FABO, this site is great! I can't believe I have been on here for 14 years!
