Timing Question?
I just installed a set of Aluminum heads on my 1975 small block. The motor is slightly built with a moderate cam, headers, high rise and 650 cfm carb. I was told I should expect a 50 hp increase from the heads. I don't seem to hardly notice any difference at all. My timing is at 8 which makes my total advance at 36. I was told to go to 10 on the initial but I'm afraid that will take the full advance above 36. I was told that I shouldn't exceed 36 total. I live at 4600 ft elevation and am running 87 octane. Any suggestions on the timing or fuel or anything. Thanks in advance.
