[QUOTE="customcj7, post: 660027, member: 3103"] Did you have major timing issues from points to petronix as well? Any tips to dial in the timing? I'm going to look for TDC via cylinder #1 and verify with distributor, then mark on my timing strip TDC, then set for 10 degrees BTDC (was factory setting). Yeah, when the engine is running I have no misfire, no stumbles, no rough idle. I can hammer the motor and she spins up with zero hesitation and sounds smooth as silk. Removed the fuel pressure regulator which put the fuel at higher then Edelbrock prefers, dialed out the settings on the carb to richen it up, and sprayed carb cleaner looking for vacuum leaks, as best as I can tell no. I put the regulator back on, adjusted the carb so my eyes stopped burning from running so rich and no change. Not exactly true. This was a Supra ski boat that my dad owned. Had it on boat stands while reworking the trailer back in 2000-2001. I kept the boat at my dad's plant. Some little ****ing asshats came in on night just to vandalize. Cut propane lines on the forklifts, spray painted ****, and one of them threw a chain around one of the stands and yanked it out from under the boat. Boat dropped and landed on it's tracking fins and fubar'd the hull. Since it was a classic boat and beyond repair, there was nothing we could do. So there sat a busted hull boat with a 351w, next to a CJ with a 4.2L on it's way out. A few beers and some thinking started the process. Motor was in perfect shape, freshwater all it's life, and has been in my family possession ever since it left the factory in 1989. Boat had 700+ hours on it when pulled. [/QUOTE]
