Ok, second drive started off fine, oil light no flicker when she's cooled off..
Sounds: 1. Lean 2. Over Advanced How many clicks off of black smoke is your mixture set @? It feels now like it wants to be shifted just under the power curve, and it pings in a 200 rpm range starting at 3k. Maybe I can string together an a/f meter from paperclips, and dustmites? I hope the oil flicker isn't bad bearings... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) 62 miles isn't better than 4800.. M |

Yes, use a timing light and set the timing to 27 degrees before top dead center at 3500 rpms. Ok, where is that? Go to the PP article and (copy and print) that guide that will set up the marks on the Fan. Mark it will white paint (there should be a mark stamped into the fan).
Take off the hoses on the dizzy and plug them. Hook up the timing light, rev the engine to 3500 and move the dizzy until your mark lines up with the notch. (Its real easy to see, NOT!) As for the black smoke and being lean that is kind of opposite. The knob on top of the ECU only sets the idle mix at idle. It has nothing to do with the A/F mix. If you are blowing black smoke after setting the timing then you are running rich. Could be the wrong MPS or bad MPS. Geoff |
