    Set your idle at 1000 rpm when its hot, your spring kit will show you when advance starts on a graph for each set of springs. I use 1 heavy silver and 1 light silver springs with idle at 1000 rpm hot

    The only problem with the 8388 dist is the vacuum canister will add 20 degrees timing at the crank if you have around 15 " of vacuum.The canister is not adjustable.I had to make a small plate to limit the travel of the vacuum canister arm

    Need help with rotor phasing

    Initial is 18. 32 total at 2500 rpm. And it used to kick back at these settings before. If you watch the msd videos on rotor phasing one of the symptoms you could have is the engine kicking back. Maybe since the compression is 175 psi you really noticed the kick back. That's all I did and it...

    How to find tdc

    Thanks for all your help I think I got it. It seems to be correct.If I line it up with 10 degrees btdc and rotate it the opposite direction it comes up to 8 degrees atdc so that is 2 degrees off so if I take half of that I should be 1 degree off .

    How to find tdc

    So I all I have to do is turn # 1 up on compression stroke to 10 degrees before tdc on my balancer turn in the stop till it hits the piston .Rotate the engine in opposite direction till it hits the stop. Make a mark. Then find the center between the 2 marks

    Need help with rotor phasing

    I will call bullet camshaft and see if they have any suggestions on initial timing. A cam with 235 to245 duration calls for around 18 to 22 degrees initial with the information I have gathered from different sources. It will not kick back if I turn the engine over without firing it with a remote...

    Other than sometimes kicking back, I noticed when I had the cap off I looked at where the rotor had been firing on the towers. It is only firing on about three quarters of the towers on each cylinder. You can tell by the marks left on the towers. I cut a large hole in the side of the cap so I...
