After stumbling around for the last 3 weeks to a month, and dealing with a ton of minor problems and one major electrical one, My baby is running good...(except for a blown convertible top motor, but i am not thinkin about that)...
I had the bright idea of coming home and setting the cars timing to 0 on the timing mark and on the advance on the timing light....I figured I would go from there....I did so and set the idle to 700 ish and life seemed good! but as soon as I touch the gas peddle, the idle jumps up to 1800-2000 and stays there..If i try to adjust, it stalls out...
I have a 340, not bored out, with X heads, purple cam, 600 double pumper holley, windage trays, headers, msd igniton, everything else stock...
From reading on here is it possible that I HAVE to have a little bit advanced timing for the car to run right?? If so what would be a good starting point?
I am very new to this stuff so suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Shane
