Why does my car feel sluggish?

What RPM for full timing?

Trans acting any better (holding gear longer) with the new linkage?

You sure the secondaries are opening all the way?

You could set initial at 10* and that would keep your total lower, but its better to be able to run more initial. If its not detonating, I'm betting timing coming in late would be more of a problem vs. running too much total.

Anyone got a Mopar Performance dizzy you can borrow?

Another thought. It might be worth bumping the motor over to approx TDC on number 1 and verifying that your balancer 0 is somewhere near the timing mark. These balancers have been known to spin on the hub causing all kinds of issues.

It was about 3500-4k for full timing.

The new linkage is making things sort of better, but its a very minimal different and it still seems to shift at 3k @ full throttle between gears.

10* isnt really doable. The car ran *okay*(but not optimal idle) at 14 and wouldnt run lower than that.

And nope on the mopar performance dist. borrowing. I'm the only mopar owner among my car friends.

On the last bit, was gonna do that today, but the pouring rain made things a little difficult. However, after getting what seemed to be an accurate timing made me think that it is not an issue.

How would i know if the secondaries are opening up?
