Where's your timing at?

Turns out my son had timing about 10 degrees light Im now at 20 initial and 35 total and everything works much better.

I'll bet this was where most of the problem was. Good you got it sorted out either way.

What distributor? What is your idle speed?
I think if you bump up the initial and cut the centrifical by the same amount, I think you will find it is more responsive without affecting anything else. Always set timing before the carb because timing affects carb, carb does not affect timing. If it's lazy off idle, I would start with 18° initial, 20° centrifical, and bring it in by 2500 if it doesnt ping. If it does, slow it down to "all in" by 3K.

I went and changed timing to 19 initial 35 total works great now, traction problems but I love that still playing with squirters Ivetries everything from 25 to 41 31 seams best I have the blue cam in right now with a 770 streetavenger almost perfect.

If this is a 4spd...I bet a 28 shooter w/red cam position 1 would be worth trying out.
