well yea lol put it into the garage

[nbpro]

are truck is out to where we're gonna paint it at

[3r!c84]

so after putting on the exhaust tonight its running worse. sounds stuffed up. realy under powerd. im still thinking its the timing is way off. or maybe i didnt find TDC correctly when i droped the dis in. also its droping alot of rpms and about dies when i put it in gear...

[nbpro]

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

[3r!c84]

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

[nbpro]

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 .

sweet thanks for the info. where whe first had the timing it said it was at like 40. and it was running good,maybe i didnt have right tbc when i droped the dis in so it reads 40 when its realy at 20? idk just a guess. we had it set at 6 and it ran like ****

yea i seen that a few times. call me slow and or cheap. i dont have a stop and i dont realy understand is methods

[nbpro]

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

[3r!c84]

Yea we where using a light like that. And this dis is not the one off the 305. It's just a stock msd streetfire right out of the box .
