O.k. i got an HEI installed this past summer at The OHIO MEET which was the best time i'd had all summer and nowi have a question.
I changed spark plugs to R45T which is suppose to be a hotter plug , right?
well first i gapped them at .035 and it ran like s%it, then yestrday i re-gapped them to .045 on someones advice.
Do i need to reset the timing?
It still runs like it is bogging down and it also sounds like a rough pinging. Any help appreciated. Thanks
