    Long shot, but the next time you hard start, go throw the temp laser (or your hand) on the starter itself. I had a starter that would saturate itself with so much heat it would act like it had too much timing / low or dead battery / hard starting until she cooled back off. Mine turned out to be a loose ground wire on the back of the starter that when shaking would arc and build heat on the ground post spreading to the rest of the unit. Good luck on the hunt!

    it will overheat at idle unless you use manifold vacuum. you're using port now. time it with vac can disconnected then connect to manifold vac where you connected the gauge then lower your idle, because your timing will be advanced. if your idle becomes unsteady you need to change your vac can that is full in at your idle vac NAPA can help with that.

  • @BluegrassHiker

    To help with lowered vehicles on the 2 post lift you can go buy a couple of hard rubber stall mats and cut them into 8" or 10" wide strips (will be about 3 or 4' long) that you can stack into a pyramid to drive up on. Works a bit better then stacking wood blocks since the rubber grips the concrete better. Hopefully that makes sense.

    I usually run it at 4 degrees. You sacrifice top end power. But it starts easier when its warmed up, especially after filling up gas and the engine heat soaks for a couple minutes. You spend more time between idle and 2500rpm. So that's what I set it for.

    • @badger_valley_customs
      @badger_valley_customs Год назад +1

      I was about to comment this as well. Even using old OEM parts the marks can’t be trusted. The outer ring can sometimes slip on the balancer hub and there was different balancers that only work with certain timing tabs. Always best to use a piston stop and find the true TDC to make your own marks.

    Just my 2 1/2 cents, I feel the starting is not timing but battery cable or starter. Unless your timing mark is way the heck off. I have ran 20 without kickback on the starter. 8-12 is usually the normal side of Sears for a sbc depending on cubes and camshaft, stock or slightly warmed, unless you are doing a big cam.
