RE: [Chevelle-list] vacuum advance hits manifold

[John Nasta]

I have a timing light. The problem is that there is no gauge on the timing cover. I guess they didn't have those in 1958. Right now it starts fine cold.   John Nasta       -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, May 02, 2005 12:19 AM To: Chevelle-list@chevelles.net Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] vacuum advance hits manifold   In a message dated 5/1/2005 11:23:10 PM Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: p.s. Rick says to see if advancing the timing all the way makes it hard to start when hot or causes hesitation on the pedal. If not, then maybe the distributor is off after all. I'm still going to see if premium makes a difference as well.   JN     It will, that always happens, even if the engine is cold.  Advancing it that far will also cause the engine to run hot.  I would disconnect the vacuum advance and set the timing at 6 degrees advanced and see how it runs, then hook up the vacuum and get a total timing reading.  If you don't have a timing light, you can also use a vacuum gauge and your ear to time it :-).   Tom   Tom
