How did you go about doing a no key ignition set up ? I'm thinking of doing a push button start on my 65 dart . I guess they call it a 2 step ignition switch ? other wise id do a regular push button but the toggle switch would be one of those all weather rubber push button 2 wire switches...

First of all I've been listening to " OP " on here for a week now ! When OP have made comments like check while at idle nobody told me if idle was to be in park ,neutral or drive while adjusting the distributor " timing" to 15 º BTDC till possibly now in their postings.then i get people...

I had it hooked strait to the port on the intake. I didnt know if i needed to hook it up to full vaccum on the base plate of the carb or the timed vaccum port on the base plate of the carb? So is the 15 º i set at idle in park correct?

MaxTax : i went out today got the motor fully warmed up and vaccum advance still plugged off and at idle in park i turned the distributor till the timing on the tape read 15º on the 0 mark on timing cover and idle is at 800 rpm . When i hook up the vaccum advance i can hear the rpm's come up...

So richen the fuel mixer screws till i just start to hear the engine/idle start to slow down or see the vaccum gauge decrease in psi? 512Stoker was talking about knocking timing down at idle at 15 º but didnt say what the rpm is suppost to be at then take it for a drive and see if it pings and...

512Stroker was that idle suppost to be in park or drive? Right now in park my engine idles at 1000 rpm and in drive it idles at 600-650 rpm

Crackedback Is that 34 total timing? And at what rpm ? You said to hook up the vaccum port but what port on the carb ? Full vaccum or the port for timed vaccum? And after the vaccum is hooked back up what should the timing be ?

Rustyratrod I appreciate everyone's help on here but can't visit 512 Stroker in person . I work and we both live in opposite ends of missouri north and south . I live in hollister just a couple miles south of branson and he live up in lake of the ozark up by Jefferson city mo. Other wise i'd...

I have 3:55 gears in the 8.25 rear

Ok ill try to study up on the total and initial timing. Should i switch back to a stock distributor?

AJ/FormS I have a push on chrome breather on the passenger side valve cover and a pcv valve on the drivers side. Do i need to get rid of the pcv and put on another push on breather? Also my 727 has a stock torque converter . My truck has power brakes. Do you think ill have to drill those holes...

AjJ/FormS I'm still running a pcv on one of the valve covers and a chrome push on breather on the other . Do need to get rid of the pcv valve and use another push on breather? Also i have a stock torque converter. Do you have a photo of the holes you drilled in the primary butter flys?

Yep the distributor is in the 318 in my D150 truck. It has a smooth idle in park and in drive . It idles in park at 1000 rpm And in drive at 650 rpm . I have a 600 cfm edelbrock carb on the motor. It used to fry the tires with the worn out 360 it had when power breaking it but it had walmart...

512 Stroker i have no idea where freedom missouri is i live 10 miles south of branson mo.

What initial timing ? At idle in park? 35 total is that at 2500 or 3000 rpm??? I dont work on timing and cam degreeing on a daily bases so i have no clue what all this automotive manual talk is? I run a vaccum gauge that color coded with - - red,yellow,blue --> red area being bad and blue on...

I already checked out an article on here: Total timing. But too much arguing back and forth about timing set up? Here's what i am dealing with/ engine set up: 85 318 engine block with flat top pistons not high compression but only 9.1 compression . Short block was built by a really good...

I was having a problem close to that . I had bad 87 octane gas with ethanol that had sat for a month and a half. The fuel inside my edelbrock separated and what was left is the fuel and the ethanol turned to a clear wet chunky gelatinous stuff floating around in the bowels and clogged up the...
