Advanced the cam just a little bit. It was either a half a degree retarded or a degree and a half advanced... My timing set only had increments of two..
Again it starts on a dime and stops on a dime and always ran absolutely perfect with perfect throttle response almost as a fuel injected. I never have put the choke into you so I've just got it locked wide open....
Anyways I just got my shipping confirmation I've got a set of 1008s on the way.,
I've never had any trouble out of 8553s but have always used the 1008s with higher compression stuff..
