Edelbrock Carb & Timing

A few days ago I posted for some help with my Edelbrock Carb on my 318 I had just been able to get up and running.

I received a lot of good input and it help diagnose the problem.

The problem was actually timing. It was about 60 degrees too far advanced. Not sure how the engine even ran.

I finally stopped, walked away, and went back to basics. Double check the set up. Then pulled the timing light out and just kept cranking the distributor around till the timing marks lined up.

Reset the idle mixture and it's a new engine.

So..... Basics. Don't beat your head against the wall of complex theory. Just do the basics.
