I am happy to say that my engine has a date with an engine dyno on Monday.

I have done some research but would like the lists collective recommendations for the dyno.  

Being that it is a complete roller engine, I plan on the following.  With the known working Autolite 4100 1.08 carb I had on the 260, will get the engine running and very the rpm under 4000K for 20-30 minutes.  I will then drain all of the oil and replace oil and filter.  Then the power runs will be run with the Autolite 4100 1.12 and then the Holley 600DP.  Runs will be completed with and without the air filter for compression. 

Will be running 91 octane, the highest I can get at the pump easily.  Compression ratio is 10.75:1. Static timing will be 10-16 degrees depending on how the engine likes it.  Mechanical is a max of 20 degrees all in by 2500 rpm.  I can change the mechanical advance if need be. 


Thanks for any advice!
