ok timing is on the BB with vac disco and pluged, i dont know where the total timing with vacume is. when i rev the engine the timing moves but i dont know how far. is that the other marks on the fly wheel?
at idle the timing does not change with or without vacume. with vacume attached the dist moves when i rev the engine.
i have not checked the guage but i do have a mechanical i could swap to.
the guage now is a elect autometer unit mounted in the head behind carb.
the engine does not feel overly hot and at 210 if i open the cap i get a little spurt of steam but the fluid is about a inch above the cores.
ot it will start right up , no lugging. the lifters are quiet at idle but make some noise when i rev. a smooth noise not like some are looser than others.
actually the engine runs nice and pulls smooth up to about 3200 rpm. i need to adj throttle linkage to get anymore,but thats another day.today was a cool day 81 and it still heated up. i washed the rad tonite and blew out the veins. a little dust but they didnt seem cloged. gona try to find a rad shop and maybe it needs a bigger core.
