All,
First, I'd like to thank everyone for encouraging me to try the cross
country trip. The roadster performed admirably, or that was after I cured
some pinging with a generous treatment of octane boost, and a mysterious
non-idle, no-start, with some new points in Ely, NV. (Next iron-bottom, I'm
bringing a timing light and dwell meter)
Now I'm finally at sea level. I'm giddy with the promise of more power.
Unfortunately the first low altitude runs have been noisy messy affairs: the
car smells like a refinery and backfires like Chinese new year until the
engine gets well above normal operating temperature. Some of these problems
might be other maintenance that I'll need to do after the long, heavy
driving, but I'll get to that once I get the setting right.
I had a decent scheme for the timing and carbs at 5000 feet, but I thought
I'd ask the list where people set their sea-level SU's, timing, and what
octane everyone likes.
Here's some information: '69 2000, no air pump, SU's, w/ the Solex cam,
headers with aggressive exhaust.
