- Hi all, Well I finally got around to playing with the timing on the 'B again and I am befuddled. short history: '73 'B w/'79 engine and ignition. I cleaned evrything and set the timing. Car would bog

- If it's any consolation, one of my customers had a 73 B that was one of the fastest stock Bs that I had driven. On one occasion, when the car was in for service, I decided I had to find out what mad

- <snip> Rick, I have the same situation with my '70 B. My advance is around 45 degrees of advance and it idles smoothly and pulls like a truck. This is with what I believe to be a high compression mot

- Hi Rick, The distributor can only go into the block in one orientation, but the spindle that drives it has, I think, six teeth so it could be in wrong giving you incorrect timing readings. To check t

- Do you know where the valve timing was ? Maybe they run a little better with a bit of " anticipation " in the valve timing and lottsa advance to go with it . Hmmmm john.kahoon@juno.com 71 Midget

- No, I didn't check the valve timing, John. I did check the integrity of the harmonic balancer to make sure it hadn't separated - it hadn't - but the possibility of a car running that well with cam ti

- I have been playing with my timing also, With it set at 20 Deg. it idles poorly,But if I advance it off the Mark wow does it run great.Its a 79 Block with a 73 head which should make no difference. I

- Do you think it COULD make a performance difference ? The valves have to opening early relative to piston position, which could make a difference in the total mass flowing thru the head. Then the 45

- In all the years I've been playing with these engines, I've only ever seen a problem resulting from a cam being one tooth off. After all, one tooth on the cam gear equates to a 9 degree difference of
