Initial timing
Just a couple observations:
You should unhook that temporary mini tach and see if it runs better. I had one of those and it was running my battery dead, needless to say it got disconnected. Chineseium
Also if you want good quick starts switch over to the Dakota High Torque Mini Starters.
They turn over the engine much faster with less effort, and the big payoff is that they drain less juice from your ignition system so it fires the plugs easier too.
Every mopar I have owned, 1st thing I do is install a mini starter. They start like they have fuel Injection with the upgrade.
