Timing was at 2deg retarded!<BR>
Hopefully this is the only reason its not running very good. <BR>
I took the distributor out and saw some bad news. <BR>My bronze dist gear was worn down so that the gears were very thin and razor sharp. <BR>
The gear didn't look like it had spun on the shaft because of a broken pin. Think I remember<BR>
that Mike Drew had this same issue with his new engine a couple years ago. Can't <BR>
remember what he did to resolve it though.<BR>

<DIV>Check everything you can think of, including all of the valves (opening properly), spark plugs (all the same color), plug wires, etc.</DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>I have a holley 750 with CHI Intake and CHI3v heads. Stock distributor with points eliminator. Thought about timing issues but that probably would cause both headers to heat the same rate?. My spark plugs on the side with the red hot header are a little dark like being too rich, not white or burned like its running lean.<SPAN class=ecxApple-converted-space> </SPAN><BR><BR>
