Unfortunately that won't transition. We only had about 15* of advance. It was just enough to get it started. Initial was about 25*. Some guys locked it out at 40* with no advance. We were running restricted small blocks and wanted every ounce to get out of the corners. Keep at it, you'll get it where you want it. :cheers:

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Congrats,The new engine sounds really nice.

Nice to see it was something so simple (and free). :D

Sounds and looks great man. :thumbsup:

My grandma would have revved it higher than that.

LOL :thumbsup:

Don't worry Big Boy, now that the Flintstone's cam is broken in I'll make sure the rings are properly seated on first test drive, then we'll test the rev limiter. :unibrow:

Thank you......but I'm looking forward to hearing what a real motor sounds like. :thumbsup:

Thanks! I was so glad to hear it fire on all cylinders that the rest was just a bonus! LOL

Timing is now set at 12* for 37* total. Cleaned up some wire routing and it will be picked up this evening and back to the shop for completion.

Also spoke with MSD Tech regarding the Blaster SS coil mounts, he said the failures are typically due to over tightening the mounts. Snug with Loctite is the proper solution..........supposedly. :D

Now I get to spend the afternoon sorting and itemizing receipts for the insurance vs. owner obligations. :thumbsup:

That is great to hear that Norwood is soon going to be back in one piece.
:thumbsup:

Can you explain a bit about the valve you have in your brakes besides a proportioning valve? I think it was a metering valve that you said applies the rear just a bit prior to the fronts.

I'm not sure how "track" oriented that mod is and if there are some negatives I should be aware of. If you have a sketch of your plumbing I would love to see it. As I recall we have mostly the same components.

Thanks!
