Default Re: Calling the '70 LT1 gurus!

Schoneye is right, but this is where I started tweaking:

1. With straight 110 I put more timing into it.
2. Went with a hotter plug to reduce fouling, eventually went with NGK's - swear by 'em now.
3. Also switched to a Blaster coil - no difference that I could tell, but just wanted a new coil 'just in case' my 293 were to act up.
4. I recall smooting the idle a bit by adjusting the fuel mixture screws via a vaccuum gauge. Not dist related, but it gave me a nice smooth idle from which to anaylze the dist curve a little better - no Sun machine in my garage! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]
