I got the HEI installed. I set the timing at 10 Degrees BTDC. It runs great & I am glad I did it. I also adjusted the steering box to make it tighter. There was alot of play in it before. Does anybody know the pitfalls of doing this or what to be careful of? What am I actually adjusting? One more thing about the HEI, I used an inline fuse rated at 30 Amps. Is this ok or should I use one rated at less??
