It's been awhile since we talked about my truck. You may recall all the trouble I've had with carburetion and other things on the ole girl. It's a '62 235 punched .030 over with stock cam and professionally built by a local speed shop. I have an Offy dual intake with Carter/Weber 2bbls on it with Fentons and Flowmaster 40's. She's got HEI and alternator. All of the wiring is new. It's timed to stock specifications (on the dot).

Generally, she runs very well. It seems to bog just a little ok take-off or when I try to do a rapid acceleration. I suppose it's possible that I need to work on carburetor adjustment or synchronization but I can't help but wonder if it needs to be timed differently.

I punched a hole in a piston once because the timing and air mixture were off so I'm a bit punchy about just turning the distributor until it runs.

What are your thoughts on timing? My challenge?
