Fuel, compression, spark - no bang!
Well, with one less distraction (sold the VW Bus) and our first race not until later next month, I now need to get the F60S running. I have rebuilt the carburetor and I have rebuilt the distributor. I have used a timing fixture to adjust the point and the advance. I have spark, I have fuel and I have compression. Unfortunately, I am not getting combustion. A friend dropped by with a PECO system and we were able to capture TDC and spark timing, it seems that my "spark" is happening after TDC, on the downstroke. According to everything I have seen and read, I need to be about 5 degrees before TDC. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I need to do to get this 42 flathead 8 to pop, bang and run?
Do I need to plug those vacuum lines at the bottom of the carburetor to improve draw into the intake?
