Hello, I’m looking for a little bit of advice. I was given a motor that had been sitting outside for a few months and got some cylinder wall pitting on two cylinders( down to 80 psi compression after rebuild)After taking it apart and having a few people look at it, I was told everything looked new to just put it back together and have fun and enjoy it considering it was free. I got it back together and sounds good running around the neighborhood. I’m ready to bring it to a local track. My question is based of what I listed what recommendations do you guys have for things such as timing and rev limits.
I acquired this information when I was rebuilding the motor timing set to 32 advance
93 fuel
Arp head studs
Not knowing cam profile it's guessing. RPM will be determined by when engine stops pulling.or 5500-6500. Timing could possibly advanced to 38* adjust 2 degrees at a time. Track times should dictate adjustment.
Thats a good sized single plane, not a "low end tq" intake should do ok upstairs
If its cammed youll want to make sure and recurve your distributor so it has enough initial timing or it may seem lazy, run warm and not have enough "snap". Makes a huge difference once you get it right its free power for the taking.

luckily everything was already prebuilt and I was giving it. So I’m assuming the guy that had it before me had it all set up. The only things I’m missing is a rpm limit and timing
