tuning

My light must be off. I checked the TDC marks and they were on so I don't think its the marks, but I got it running awesome now. It was slightly wet on the road today but it flat snaps now. I did it by ear, and then checked the starter and it was just wanting to kick back a bit so I backed off some all with the vac disconnected. The light says this was 30 degrees, so that's why I think the light is snafu. The vac was hooked up to the manifold port as edelbrock recommends this for pre emissions, I tried the timed port but it doesn't seem as good. So the Vac adds another 10 degrees up to 40 (again my light must be off). Then the mechanical with no vac hooked up was adding another 20 degrees total. Idle is at 750 and it's dropping to 600 in gear now.

I then moved the pin on the arm of the accelerator pump of the carb out one notch. The throttle with not stumble or bog no matter how hard and fast I hit it. My converter is brake stalling right at 2000 rpm. It does upshift early at 3500 with full throttle so I need to put more pressure on the rod although I'm maxed out with what the threads allow there. I need a longer kickdown rod. Don't worry I know that's a must.

Like I said, it was a bit wet out, but even just some 0-45 mph runs on the 2.74 gears this is the fastest car I have ever owned. I can't wait for the 3.25s but now think I'm going to need that limited slip! My RT short cab Dakota with it's 3.92s and magnum 360 was pretty fun to drive as well but early butt dyno says this is quicker.

Now I need to find an accurate light and see what I'm really looking at for timing.
