OK, I am trying to get my 79 Spit up and running after sitting for the past
year and a half. It runs, and all mechanicals are in just rebuilt
condition. However it is seriously out of tune (hence my earlier question
on webers). I also need to set up the timing. However, I don't have a
stock setup and am slightly lost on where to set up the timing. I also
cannot drive up and down the road to test, since it is not currently
licensed.
Here is what I have. '79 Spit, with 9:1 pistons. Weber DGAV carb, no
emissions, free flow exhaust with header, and a hot street cam. What is the
best way to set the timing correctly. Also, should I have the vacuum
connected to the distributor? It doesn't seem to pull any vacuum, but I am
using a large vacuum hose. Would that affect it? Does it really even need
the vacuum? How do I set advance and such? Thanks.
