Re: ... adjustment and timing.

[Schuyler <schuyler62@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Don, this sounds like a great tip! so, just to help me understand
how to do this, I gave it a try last night, on my warmed up Poly.
here's what I did-
measured out the 2.21" with masking tape on a ruler, then cut
a piece to length (2.21"). facing the front of the car I stuck the
tape on the dampener, going left to right from the TDC mark.
and made a white mark at where the tape ended.  then pulled
the tape leaving a clean edge.
 so, I fired up the Poly and warmed it up (timing light hooked up).
 checked my initial adv. witch is just off the Poly's gage at about
17 degrees or so? hmm, then had a buddy wind up the Poly to 3000RPM.
this brought the new mark I made to about the middle of the gage
at about 5 degrees on the Poly's gage, that's mounted above
the dampener. so, do I add this 5 degrees to the 32/34?
am I to far advanced, both initial and total? did I do this right?
or have I missed the boat?
the Poly seems to run fine! except the poor compression and
build up of crank case pressure, if run at higher then 3000RPM for a
long duration. say at 3500, on the HWY, full load, averaging 85MPH,
oil well start coming out the breathers, dip stick tube and anywhere
else it can find away. but thats another story and everything is fine
when I drive it mellow.
hope I got this right and thanks for the tip!
and any help with this

My Poly has a reground cam, specs are:
intake 270, 206 @.050, lift 445
exhaust 274, 212 @ .050, lift 445
110 degree LC
52 degrees overlap
also, removed vacuum adv. and welded
the vacuum adv. plate down so it won't move.
The heads were redone with new springs, a little
porting etc...
