Randall,
This GT6 is all modified so there is no vacuum advance or retard present. I
could not believe it either but I am going to say the timing was at 22
degrees advanced at idle. Fast idle though, maybe 900 to 1000 RPM. The motor
ran
OK too, except for the occasional stumble and overheating. I did not do the
tuning on this one, I guess I need to complain to the Ace mechanic who had
it set there. I set it back to 13 degrees BTDC and I think the stumble has
improved. With the radiator redone with water wetter and very little
antifreeze it knocked the temperature down considerably, just a smidgen over
half.
Running OK but I can still feel the stumble at low RPM's. You think I should
go more? I have never heard a ping at all.
The GT will ride the trailer to Texas but I want to drive it once there of
course. Just had a report from a friend and it is 105 there. OH Boy! The GT
may be a GT6+ "Night Rider". Still have Sunday morning left to fool around
some.
Thanks,
Darrell
