    Base Timing Question

    Base Timing Question

    hrm I get nothing with it at 0* it almost seems like if I have it at 10* I can get it to want to start and like I said by pumping the gas it sometimes will start up but of course not idle on its own. and also if now I try to turn the dizzy clock wise from the rotors point at 10* it does not seem...

    Base Timing Question

    Hrm Ok so basically I first set it to 0* BTDC on the balancer then start the car with spout unplugged .. Once car is started I time it with timing light to 10* BTDC correct? that is my question. Or do I start at 10* BTDC start the car and make sure its at 10* BTDC with the timing light?

    Base Timing Question

    Do we set the balancer to 10* BTDC on the Compression Stroke right off the bat or do we set the balancer to 0* BTDC (which I think is called the Base Time) and then with spout connector out, start the car and time it with the timing light to 10* BTDC? I am confused.

    Head Gasket Install

    1) Ya I always installed the gasket dry. You could if anything take your finger and put a little motor oil on it but I dont think you need to do that. 2) water pump bolts I believe you dont need to use anything on the bolts but of course around the pump its a good idea to use Black RTV if im...

    Timing Pointer Position

    Which part is actually the pointer that we want to have 10 degree's below TDC on the first spark plug wire? I would imagine the very end edge but I do see that like half moon cut out. Thanks

    Trickflo Twisted Wedge Heads + Track Heat Intake + Spacer

    Ok Have anyone of you guys had to swap out your distributor after rocking the TW Heads, Track Heat upper intake and the 3/8 Spacer (Spacer is required so you can properly clear the EGR valve ears). For some reason as soon as I put the correct Calibrated Pro-M MAF with a CAI kit on it I have had...

    KOOKs headers are leaking

    Cranks slow sometimes. Wont start others WTF!

    No Ground wire There is no Ground Wire Attached to your starter. It is 2 12volt wires to be completely honest with you. The Ground is pulled thru the ears on the starter that attach to the transmission which then attaches to your motor. The ground wire from your battery is Attached to your...

    NEW MAF Timing Question

    I got you all confused Haha sorry man I think I have you all confused. What I mean is should the vacuum line be pulled off the stock FPR regardless of while timing or not? to get the thing running at 39lbs? or is it fine to always keep the vacuum line on it? :D sorry for any confusion.
