Hi all,
(I'm a refugee from the spridget list - this is for a '77/'79 Midget, so
bear with me... ;) )
I have some questions on tuning my newly-freshened 1500. Here's the new
spec:
-flat top pistons
-TSI 275-4 cam
-twin HS4's with AAQ needles and K&N's
-Maniflow 4-2-1 header
I'm looking for recommendations for initial ignition timing/advance and
maximum ignition advance. I've swapped the old Lucas 45DM4 for a Mallory
dual point, to give me more control over the advance curve, should I
need to.
Right now the car runs, but it seems to like to run very advanced - as I
try to bring the ignition timing down to 10 deg. BTDC, it just wants to
stall. The carbs are set at the initial setting of 12 flats down, and I
haven't really played with them, as I haven't ben able to get the timing
right yet. When I lift a carb piston, the rpms will drop, but I assume
that this is partially due to the incorrect timing.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
