Yeah its a lot of cam. I got it running and timed tonight and broke in. Idles around 1100 with a little more carb and timing adjustment i can get it down to 900.

So heres a update. I have the cam card to the engine and its a doozy. It is a .633 lift with 272/280 with a 112 lobe seperation. So its a rowdy cam and is gonna idle rough as hell. I havent had a cam with this much lift before so last night what appeared to be bad timing was mostly rough idle. I...

Well still no luck. I checked tdc twice and ran 12v to the pos coil side. I moved the distrib a few teeth advanced and was able to run it barely as long as I gave it a little throttle. So I ll go after it a little more tomorrow after work

We use it in high compression motors for a few reasons. 1 its cheaper then buying racing gas. 2 it is more tolerant to detonation. 3 It acts as a partial cooling and cleaning agent. Fuel mileage sucks because it takes more E-85 to create energy. With that being...

Plenty of fuel going into and down the carb and a shot of starting fluid didnt provide any results. Im at work today so i wont be able to try any tricks until tonight. The petronix doesnt have a ballast in the circut, however i am still only getting 5volts to the positive side of the coil. The...

I havent adjusted it far enough to cause a bind. i was trying to avoid that. I installed it at tdc. I would be surprised if it was a tooth off. Even with a tooth off, every time I crank it I should get some sort of response from the engine, Backfire thru the carb, rough run, binding, something...

Ok so Im stumped. I installed a 395 stroker in my 70 mach 1. It is 13.5:1 compression, so i set up the fuel system for e85 due to the amount of octane needed. When trying to start the engine for its initial start up and break in I could not get it to fire. The distributer is set at 10*. I tested...
