I'll be taking my car to a dyno tuesday. He will tune the carb and other things, but of course it is an hourly charge; therefore I want to do what I can before I take it to him.
First off, this is pretty much the first time I've been able to run the car and drive it for more than a couple minutes since I got the cam and also headwork. I had added an open spacer when I did this, but I seem to have lost some bottom in and not gained anything else, could the spacer be to blame? or is it the carb?
Next, I have the timing set around 14*-16*, does that sound correct for my cam and setup?
The carb, when I turn the idle mixture adjustment screws all the way in, the engine dies; does this mean my jets are okay? I always thought this carb was going to need to be jetted down.
Lastly, what other things can I do to get the general tuning good so that the dyno guy doesn't have the car all day?
Thanks a lot! I can't wait 'til tuesday
