Re: 72/68 blazer 4x4 dream/nightmare

So I was offered full asking price the other day and decided to keep it. I told the guy he'd get the first call if I changed my mind again. Anyway after solving the vacuum issue I played with the initial timing a bit last night. I found that 12* made a little more improvement. Better response, more power while cruising and the run on wasn't constant. I still need to set the total timing as soon as a get a good dial back timing light and a helping foot. After 2 harbor freight lights I guess I'll stop being cheap. I've never messed with curving a distributor, I'm sure it'll be a few long aggravating trial and error days. I'm really eager to get it looking right after making it act right.
