Re: "Rice Rocket'

To Do:
*Set timing CORRECT
*re-set valves (one is clicking)
*finish rebuild install edelbrock 600
*set carberator
*cap/rotor/new plug wires
*Fill up with gas (maybe re engineer filler)

And I got the shop cleaned today and my clutch problem was resolved with short TB lol
(gotta hurry the fair is this week lol)

FROM ENGINES THREAD:

ok, got my clutch problem taken care of (had wrong throwout bearing..)

My timing needs to be 12-13 btdc? Right? Also, thats with the line going to dizzy plugged?

Ok, i have fancy light with a dial, if I set the dial at 13* btdc i wanna line the marks on the balancer/timing tab at -- 0* right? then the gun makes the difference? Im a lil confused here.

I picked up a edelbrock 600 cfm from a friend, im rebuilding it. Will that be enough for this motor? Thank you

I still have an exhaust leak and 1 vavle is ticking, im not sure if its the leak or a valve still loose, i'll run thru tickers faq on vavle settings again

I did take it down the driveway and back, doesnt have much power, but the timing is quite a few degrees off..?

What is the order?

Time the motor
adjust carberator (2 front screws)
then adj. idle?

thank you

ps what should it idle at (rpms?)

oh, I just thought of something i forgot!!!

what should the gap on the plugs be set at?

thank you
