Why so much inital timing???

Too much chaff on this one so maybe I missed it but - OP - What was the intake closing point again? What pistons were used? What carburetor's on it?

OP said he recalled that IVC was 60. He didn't mention which pistons specifically. But .030 over with 9.6 static compression. I did not see a mention of which carb he used.

I was wondering someone else was gonna notice this. Even at the number the one clown is giving , its under 8.1 dynamic... and the ve is probably as weak. That doesn't mean it won't run good, but these guys are torn up over opinion.

Notice what? That OP gave the IVC as 60? Or that I guessed that same number? lol Or wait! Did you mean that I said DCR was probably between 7.85 and 7.98? Or that with the IVC at 60, I calculated DCR at 7.90:1? Look at that. There's me. Right again lol.

I'm not torn up over anything. I said DCR would be good for iron heads. And it was. I also said that max DCR on iron head's isn't worth it on an everyday street motor. He's right up where he and his builder wanted it, and it's great for the street.

You're the one throwing a temper tantrum and disliking everyone's posts just cause they disagree with your "opinion". I call that torn up lol.
