Re: 3r!c84 build

Re: 3r!c84 build

maybe this weekend you can reset the distributor and with a TDC Indicator and see if that helps. im assuming all of your vaccuum lines are in the right places also good luck

Re: 3r!c84 build

yea all in the right places. and what not being used is pluged so no vac leaks. must be my timing is way off. im going to pull the spark plugs and see how they look too.
the part where i shift it in gear and it drops alot of rpms is strange too

Re: 3r!c84 build

Some guys tell you that any big RPM drops from Park to Drive are caused only by incorrect ignition timing, while others say that it can also be due to the stall speed chosen being too low for the camshaft that's being used

In a street motor with a perf cam correct base timing (at least 16-18 deg with perf cam)/is vac adv being run /is vac adv hooked to ported or full intake vac all the time/what spring & weight setup is in mech adv/size of cam/carb idle mix adj/and stall speed all collectively play a role in how much rpm drop there is from park to drive.

But the better the above " adjustable items (carb idle mix/timing/mech adv/vac adv/etc) are dialed " in the less of an rpm drop from park to drive you should see .

Re: 3r!c84 build

Advance Timing Light is a must tho how are you setting your time by ear or are you using a light your vacuum advance curve needs to be looked into as well. i was thinking the weights may be set diff on the 305 than it is for the 400. not sure
