408 Magnum stroker running hot.

@AJ/FormS
I have 3.73 gears with a 27" tall tire. I also have a manual valve body and I've tried to keep the RPM's low to keep heat out of the engine. Ive tried to keep the RPM high to keep the converter efficient and cool. I didn't expect any difference but it didn't hurt to try.

I tried to hook up the vac advance before. The engine pinged really bad with any kind of throttle input. It would rattle/ping just trying to stay up with traffic from a light. I havent ever used the vac advance on any of my cars so I don't know much about tuning it. Its disconnected right now. I can try to play with it some more. I have a stock 340 electronic distributor with an HEI module and MSD coil. Not sure if that matters any.
