Re: timing question
I thought you said you had it at 14 and it started good!
I assume you proved your timing tab/balancer when you had it apart.
If not you should.
Stock timing for a 454 with stock peanut port heads is likely 8 degrees. Now you've changed it with the 396 heads, and your timing changes too.
Usually mechanical timing doesn't start until 850 rpm, so getting the idle as low as possible to set it is needed.
And your elevation does effect your max timing. You can run more initial.
What are you using for a timing light?
What do you mean by hard starting? Do you mean slow cranking or just doesn't fire up right away.
