Re: timing question

Keep in mind, that our country now runs gas with an unknown amount of alcohol in it. The boiling of the fuel is more prevelant with the alcohol mix and when you add a change in altitude, that assists in the boiling of fuel. I had issues with my engine in good ole Kansas and had to put a 1" spacer under the carb to stop the transition of heat from the intake to the carb bowls. I also added an edelbrock fuel pump with a change of the plate on the bottom to allow me to get a return line to the fuel tank, to keep from boiling the fuel in the pump. Yes it is also susceptable to heat.
