422 dyno fail

True the corner exhaust mounting bolts are wet, but you should never have water/rust in the exhaust ports especially with the short run time you have on that engine. I still say more analysis should have been done i.e. your ignition system is proof.
Many moons ago I dyno tested engines for a living a you have got me lost.
I will be watching for good results.
Much luck

I never dyno tested for a living but it would seem to me that a dyno tester who saw something amiss would suggest some troubleshooting a bit. Changing jetting, using a known good dyno carb, etc. When I went to have a dyno done on my car it was just for assessment on a dynojet. The owner and tester suggested that timing may be too far advanced and he would love to do a dyno tune and not just a test. He was a racer and knew his stuff. I will wait and watch attentively how this pans out and I hope to learn a lot from this. I am speaking not just what was wrong but how to navigate the build, test, retest etc. Good Luck.
