Thanks guys. I will do it in a bit here. With the plugs out. I honestly feel my old carter Carb is just wore out. Even the rebuilt made it run slightly better. But it should not be having a slight damp issue between the top of the carb, and the mid section, where the gasket is supposed to...

Oh crap!! I know this is an old thread. However, I came across it and realized I did it wrong? I did a compression test, since I have a slight rough idle, and a slight pop out of the tailpipe once in a while, and some black stuff shooting out the tailpipe when starting. It does run a bit rich...

Please bare with me. I am sorry. So try and figure out how to find tdc. Then mark a new white mark on the pulley to where TDC is "now", and then adjust it slightly. I have a dial on my timing light. Could this be why I cannot get the car to quit sputtering, and running rough? Once you hit it...

I agree with you. I have no idea. I was told by quite a few the hole belongs there. Carb is done, tune up done. And my car is still sputtering out the tailpipe, and running a bit rough. But has power. I dunno. I give up! My timing is even out of wack. I couldn't get it to come up on the...

Okay, my friend adjusted my valves and made it look easy. I did bring it home, and later checked my timing. I dunno. The timing mark was not even close to the tab. I turned the indicator on my gun, until it hit TDC, and my gun tells me I am at 32 degrees..... Shoud be at 2 1/2 BTDC...

I was told 67 and back are all the same. I am confused. Some seem to be different. Unless the TDC may be in the same spot on all the from 67 and back.

Thank you!!!! I think I found one local, not sure for a few days. I will get back to you, thanks so much!!! As shown above the one I posted. The number set up looks different? Does that matter? Someone shared that photo with me, and said thats the one I need. I am confused.

Thanks! I just never caught it. I bought it a few weeks ago. And have the carb off for rebuilt. And happened to look down at the area, and saw "nothing there"....:pale:

I checked my 1965 Belvedere, slant 6/225 that I just bought, and the Timing Tab Indicator is gone! I don't know what years fit, here's a photo of where it bolts too, and another little hole is needed in the tab. I am sure different years changed the timing degrees on the indicator tabs. If...

Yes, Dan was just explaining that its supposed to be there. Of course, not with a wood screw....Ugh! I will remove the screw. I am just concerned if they en largened the hole now. If that made sense? I don't know how big it is supposed to be.

Its close, but not hitting the plate. I will plug it for sure! JB weld should do the trick!

Good Link!!! I will just remove the screw, and some jb weld. People amaze me! Otherwise, the car has been untouched. I guess they had to do something strange to it.

Okay, so it was hooked up right. That place where the "wood screw" someone put in there, I am going to remove. My kit will be here tomorrow, if I am not brave enough, I may drop it off at the garage on Monday, and let them rebuild it. I watched a youtube clip, didn't look hard, but I dunno! I...

I went up and set the carb on it, to give an idea. Here's where the vac advance is plugged into. It must work, it was screaming up the road, when I gave it throttle. I dunno? I will plug that hole closed the right way.

No, the fuel/air mixture is on the other side up further. I was trying to find it online. The only thing I seen one guy say is a vent hole???
