68 Valiant,
360, circa 75,76 5 post Electronic ignition. I set it up at about 8 BTDC. No Vacuum advance Idles rough with about 18 inches of vacuum and wont hold consistent Idle. So today I tinkered with the timing. Low and behold At about 10 After TDC The Idle smooths out and is consistent. The Idle screws react to tuning (brand new AVS2 650) and vacuum is around 20.
I am going to do a points distributor with a pertronix 1 module and flame thrower coil soon.
But just for now what are your thoughts Timing chain skipped or was installed wrong?
As always Thank you for your knowledge(and patience).
Ive been trying to get this thing down for an alignment, but every time I leave the drive way I have a new "adventure"
