Hi guys,
Spent to day in the garage getting it ready for tomorrow.
Thanks for the input today. I decided on the setup using the light blue and lighter silver springs. For the advance bushing stop, I stayed with the original stop which was blue and is supposed to give me 21 degrees of advance.
If that works, then I am free to play with 10 to 14 degrees of static timing. Total will be in around 2500. So 30 - 34 total is possible, I have heard a rule of thumb on initial timing..not less than 10 and not more then 20

This falls in line with what George told me to strive for. He said have her all in by 2500 to 3000 rpm..10 -14 initial and 30-34 total

Should be fun.

Crazy thing......I left my horns on the floor under the car as I stalled for the last 8 months on where to mount the pair. Had to be in the right spot yada yada etc

Today I did it and it only took 2 hours to get them just right.

Funny how things seem so big when you stall on them.

Just have to add the coolant and gas, take it off the axle stands and roll out to the driveway.

One more turn by hand on the engine and another prelube.

Fingers crossed gang

Tim
