Listers,
I have completed my install of a 5.0 roller and t5 transmission in my 65 tiger.
I have been having trouble with fine tuning the motor. What I thought was a
lean carb adjustment (slight backfire through carb under loads) seems to be
something else. I have updated my fuel pump(97gpm Holley) and added a new
filter and SS braided fuel line from carb to pump. Made all adjustments per
Edelbrock and even added new MSD 8.5 wires. My distributor is a one wire HEI
for a FORD. I believe the HEI distributor or my new BOSCH PLatinum plugs may
be the problem.
I used the positive coil lead for the old distributor setup to power the HEI.
Does this lead maintain a 12 volt current while operating?
Since those Bosch plugs have no gap adjustment can someome tell me what the
actual gap is for BOSCH? I have look in their catalog but it doesn't say.
Car starts right up and sounds bitchin! Just need to correct backfire so I can
lay rubber. By the way---I have my wires in the right firing order.
Distributor is set at 12 degrees advance.
I would appreciate any of your help.
Thanks
Frank
