I have yet to check the total adevance because I haven't had a second person to assist with controlling the throttle. I am going to try and work that this weekend since I will have someone to helpIts a carb car, bit different for initial vs the efi stuff, what's it seeing full advanced, are you checking it with a decent dial back light or just setting initial, good way to see if the marks are off with a dial back light. How are you controlling the timing, threw the msd box or a vacuum advance or are you just running it locked with a stock type tfi distributor? Popping and farting on decel, make sure its got 0 exhaust leaks first, then Check rest of the ignition components. Backfire like bang, like can take out a muffler bang, definitely want to look at the carb too, might need a rebuild kit or rejet. A sub $100 wideband gauge with a good bosch sensor is a good investment.
Timing mark getting pretty close to the base of the strap. If your reading plugs for everything shut it off, pull over, swap a few of the old ones in and drive it back. Corners plugs if you don't want to do them all.
The TDC, rotor and balancer shoudl all be good...I had to redo the distributor a few times to get it right but i will try asnd recheck itOr a bad balancer.
I'd deal with the timing, check balancer, make sure 0* on the balancer is TDC on the #1 piston, rotor at #1 on cap..
I am not "sure" of anything. LOL...I bought the engine already built but unless the builder screwed up the timing chain shoudl be solid..the engine only has about 10K total miles on itBase timing on most 302’s is around 12 to 14 degrees. You sure you don’t have the distributor off a tooth or a worn out timing chain? I just throwing stuff out but that seems to be a lot of initial timing to me.
I likely will find a way to do that. LOLVery little risk and I only say that due to the odds are you will burn yourself.
Technically these are only 2 plugs..the front corners...not sure which one looks perfect and which is a touch offAFR looks good to me. Couple plugs want a tad less timing... others are on point. I'd pull a degree, but I err conservative.
