DOOM, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

Time to cruise!

By the way, I shredded my starter and flexplate about two years ago in my 572
68 Camaro. Having accidentally too much timing advance during cranking, it backfired through the intake while cranking and destroyed several flexplate teeth. And of course, it had to happen at a car show with everybody watching.

Here's my point: You are lucky. I was not. I experimented with "cranking timing" and found 18 degrees advance to work the best for me.

Again, sincere congratulations!

I actually had to replace the starter bolts on mine ! I knew this wasn't right so I would start the car by just bumping the ignition to help keep it from happening until we got it corrected.
