Re: "Rice Rocket'
Do you know exactly which lifter is ticking? Are you sure its not an exhaust manifold leak? I believe the idle is supposed to be around 800 rpm in neutral ( make sure you block them wheels to keep it from rolling away if you set it yourself) I THINK the timing is supposed to be around 8 degrees base with the vacuum advance unplugged but the best way Ive found to set mine for all around driveability is to find a quiet road somewhere and drive it a little bit and adjust it a little bit. Simply put, if it turn up like a dog it's too low and if it detonates any at all its too high. How much timing you can get away with running depends on what grade of gas you plan on running
