Alright I got her running good….

What I am looking for here is suggestions, and ideas/processes on tweaking the timing and fuel mixture to insure I have it running as strong as she can….

Anyone on here from michigan going to the mt clemens car show tommorrow?

If an engine is undertimed, i.e. timing is 7 BTDC but ideally it should be at 14-16 BTDC, would the engine run warmer or be hard to start?
