No it's reading at 38 degrees when I set the timing at 20 degrees when I put back in the distributor on a stock rebuild 360 with vac advance unplugged and idling

Sounds like your first fire up went better than mine this weekend lol. I over heated and had ignition problems. Now waiting for more parts to come

I am pulling my hair out with this motor. I built this about a year ago and one thing led to another so now I'm just getting it running. The cam was not broken in when out together. Block is I believe an 80 and ran decent before getting rebuilt. Pulled it down and re ringed and new bearings new...
