Advance to high?
Posted by: | CommentsJust wondering if too high advance at idel like 30 degrees would make an engine run a tad rich.The outher night I got one of thoes adjustable timing lights with the dial on it.When I first firered this 360 up for the first time,I timed it by ear.So when I put the light on it it read 30 degress.It started good but I could tell it was over advance.Now I have set it back to 16 degrees,havent had time to test and tune or play with my dizzy yet.And yes when I had the light on the vacume advance hose was plug.

holley 4150 vs 4160
Posted by: | CommentsHi guys what are your thoughts on the 4150-750 with the rear block haveing the jets one can play with,on the 4160 theres a plate not so easy to play with the jetting.I ask because I plan on a bigger carb than the 600 on my mild 360 right now.My plan is to start out with 67 jets up front first,but if I get a 4160 playing with the plate well I have not been there yet.I know i can just get the block and install it were the plate goes,but dont want to spend more on a used carb than I want.
