Re: Exhaust "bypass" valve? Also..timing

[Eric Sturgis <ericsturgis@xxxxxxxxx>]

LOTS of things play into properly running motor, Fuel, Carburetor,
Distributor, Timing, Exhaust, Temp, Altitude, Spark Plugs, Wires,
Rings, Valves...etc.  There is no "Quick fix" to stop engine pinging.
However there are many common things that cause it and make it really
bad.  First the timing...your car should be as you set it, 10btdc.
However if the fuel you are running is a low octane, or if the motor
is running on the hot side, or if you are up in the mountains it may
be too much.  Try turning it back a few degrees, try 8 or 5 degrees to
see if it likes it better.  Buy the best fuel you can and the highest
octane rating you can find, remember when you car was new regular gas
octane was 93 and Premium was around 101, your car would have run on
93 octane, that today is Premium gas...not regular.  Octane helps to
stop the pinging and regular gas now is MUCH lower octane .  Make sure
the plugs are in good condition as the plug wires.  Make sure the air
filter is clean, and if all that fails, the carburetor maybe out of
adjustment.  But I would do the fuel and adjust the timing to suit the
car.  Remember it's a 50 year old car, it's going to be quirky a bit.
It's not like the new cars on the road today where computers adjust
everything 1000's of times a minute to make them run wonderful.

Being that 10 is the only number on my timing stub I guess that's what that is. Now after putting it back together and taking it in the road...no difference.  Plus it had a rough idle. Now I noticed when I adjusted it to 10btdc with vacuum advance still on, it idled smoother...didn't have any noise, but taking off and in turns it almost dies...what should I do to get it right!? It doesn't have points, electronic ignition.
