Solutions for too much compression

Whatever it is, and I'm fair

If it will run 24 locked out, set it that way.

Your plugs show additives, the reddish. Shell gas can leave that color as well but usually its octane boost.

If you look at the tang your timing is definitely as much as you can get. It's about middle but past the bend and toward the ring.

I dont see it being rich, but you can cut the threads off and see down where the porcelain meet the metal case, it should be brown/tan , not black.

I knew it.


LOL you are STILL wrong. You don’t need to cut the threads off looking at idle and cruise on the plug.

Its NOT lean. I don’t care if the gas came from bumfukt Egypt.


OP, when you get tired of this shot, up the primary main jet up 6-8 numbers and see what happens. Then post pictures.

And do NOT lock out the distributor. That’s what people do when they don’t know what happens with “modern” igntion systems.

I may have a video showing what happens. When I saw a video of what happens, I went out and bought a distributor machine to not only verify what happens, but to learn how to correct it.
