Hi again. Thanks for all the help with my numerous problems! Now Ive got another one. Recently I was messing around under the hood of my 67 RS, and i bumped the distubutor. No big deal..I just re-set the timing. I took the vacum advance off, hooked up the timing light and re-set it. Heres the problem...I set the timing to 0. in other words, right in the middle of the timing mark on the chain cover. Now my car runs like crap. Keep in mind im not a mechanic by any shape of the imagination, so if someone could please tell me what i did wrong in simple terms, i would be very grateful. I used the #1 plug wire to set the timng, and at idle it runs ok, but when I geive it some gas, it studders and shakes. thanks in advance.

Try disconnecting the vacuum advance hose at the distributor, blocking off the hose, and setting the timing to between 8-15 degrees BTDC. See where it runs best, probably around 12*. You want some advance in your timing. Is your engine stock?

thanks Bob..Ive advanced the timing to 13* BTDC, and it runs tons better. The enigne internals are stock, but it has SR Torker 2 heads, edelbrock intake and 600 edelbrock carb.

Time it to stock spec's b/c that old -929 cam, (if that's still what you are running?), will appreciate it..
