[Chevelle-list] Timing Question

2007-05-08 Thread Johnny Palmer
Hi Again Guys
I was wondering if anybody has had this happen.
I wanted to give my timing alittle more adjustment as the advance cannister was 
hitting the intake manifold at 8 degrees BTDC when you turned the 
distributor...I made my marks on the distributor and lifted it to turn it one 
tooth on the cam gear Now the engine doesn't run very well at the 8 degree 
mark but runs really well at the 40 degree BTDC mark(it took me awhile to 
find this out as I kept advancing till things smoothed out)Any Ideas
John

I believe most recommended gap settings on an SBC with HEI is .040

  Clyde the rears have a different width, but the ends where you mount the
discs are the same bolt pattern.

AND for Jim

   Were you able to connect the emergency brake?I've heard that is
a problem with some calipers.
