Re: What did you do to your SyTy today? (part 2)

I was doing an ignition tune-up this weekend. New plugs and cap, plus a new Pioneer balancer.

I had not verified my stock balancer in about 5 years. When i removed it this weekend, i found my timing mark had slipped 7 degrees. :roll: I haven't adjusted my distributor in almost 2 years.

So my passes in the last few years have all been 7 degrees retarded. whooops. :lol: My mid 11second runs were made on about 10deg of timing, and my low 11s were done on 14deg. :lol:

But of course, its all relative, i tune conservatively anyhow. So regardless of the numbers, it should still run the same. But funny to come across this.

Did the tune-up fix your stumble? I have a break-up happening at the top of 2nd so I feel your pain...

Matt make sure your not overly rich in your ve table when it starts missing. Too much fuel will do that.

I rewired my MSD box, and i believe that fixed my issue. I also found a split boot at the plug terminal on one of my wires, so i made a new one.

I'm hoping i'm close enough to read Frank's license plate through the traps.

Had my junk yard 4L80 looked at for a mild rebuild.

Wanted $2400 to rebuild with red devil clutches, shift kit, bushing kit, new band installed and a hardened input shaft (not billet, $180).

Seemed very expensive.

Is 11.3 - 11.4 too rich? 10 PSI Boost.. 24 Spark advance. Maybe that's too much advance.. I'm not sure your familiar with my engine.. Its a built 383 stroker 9.1:1 CR, vortec heads, ramjet intake.
