Drifting
Readjusted the timing to a more appropriate level. The initial timing light used was reading low, so bought a new one. It was quick when running 29 deg at idle, but backed down to 15 deg and ay lower another couple. Get a slight hint of detonation when at WOT. Also adjusted idle to about 750 indicated. Need to tweak the fast idle setting as well.
Found that the key buzzer wire is disconnected and will need to run a jumper to see if working properly or not. Not sure if it was found to be annoying or malfunctioning. Put the clamps on the evap line where the expansion valve probe attaches.

Johnny like day and night its very responsive lights them up with ease shifts like never before and flat out hauls ***. I know the motor was a little tired, but feels like new with new rear spring and a little motor freshening totally different ride. I have owned many Big Block Vettes BUT this thing is a Beast now.
