Buddies 170 is a DOG!

25% grade? That's steep.

Probably not even 12%, but still...it cruises on flat road, but hills, fagetaboutit! The mech advance seems to work as the timing mark moved about an inch when we revved it without vacuum. We ran it without the vacuum advance hooked up for 2 miles and it didnt seem to be any worse... We got a bead on a free 225 so I think he is done with the little ringless 170. Ill snag it to mess with, and I need an extra head to fab up my EFI intake anyway. In hindsight, I almost gave a way a .030 over 225 short block earlier this year........Thanks.
