[QUOTE="customcj7, post: 660618, member: 3103"] A pain in my ass apparently. Damn Edelbrocks UPDATE: So after advancing the timing way more than I would have felt comfortable doing, I have made serious progress. Engine will run for a long time at 180. I took it for a drive yesterday and only after a while did it get up to 210. But then it started sputtering out, and eventually dying. I think that is 100% carb fuel related. Still trying to dial in the carb without drowning it. I think it was too lean and was starving out unless I opened up the throttle, which would explain why it got to 210. All in all, I think I have the major problem corrected. The timing was so retarded I was just cooking it with exhaust gas temps. A big thanks to GRCthird for telling me about the Petronix timing issues. Thanks to all those who helped. This Edelbrock carb is a pain in the ass compared to my old Holley so it may be time to switch back. I don't feel like fuel injection just because it's more than I want to invest right now. :drinkers: [/QUOTE]
