Default Calling Lars

Your PM box is full so I'll try this...

I was wondering if you would mind sending me your timing papers? Currently, I have the initial set at 10 advance - total is ending up at 42 at 2,000. A little excessive and a bit early according to your recommendations. It seems to run fine, but I am a little nervous about pinging etc. (have not noticed any to this point).

Stock HEI with an Accel coil. I am running the vacuum advance from the ported plug on a Edelbrock performer carb.

PM me and I'll send you my email address.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts / advice you may have.

Adam

Grey, overcast, windy and just barely above the freezing mark, but it's not raining (first dry day in over a week I think)
Sun is supposed to peek out tomorrow, I'm hoping to get one more drive in before the end

That's correct - if you need any of my papers, simply drop me an e-mail request. I don't do IM, PM, LinkedIn, Twitter, Text, Facebook, or whatever else that's "in" these days. I respond to e-mails and phone calls.
