laotsu Posted September 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 Also, octane booster, really increases octane VERY little. especially when it's $.89 at BigLots and dumped into a full tank. Link to comment
laotsu Posted September 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 so what's new Smoke? Link to comment
smoke Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 Staring at my waffle iron, trying to decide if it's worth the effort. Link to comment
laotsu Posted September 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 Run the best gas you can afford and set the timing accordingly. Just below pinging. Get used to it and thewn try an octane boost and adjust your timing again. Now decide is or was the boost worth the bother. Only way to be sure. Try manifold vacuum and adjust the initial timing so it doesn't ping. Vacuum advance has no effect on full throttle but a lot on part throttle. Makes the car easier to drive and brings the mileage way up. I only have one port on the manifold, it's being used by the EGR at the moment, and that only draws from one carb. I believe that would give an unsteady signal. Plus aren't matchboxes setup for ported vacuum not manifold vacuum. doesnt it give the opposite effect? Link to comment

I believe that would give an unsteady signal. Plus aren't matchboxes setup for ported vacuum not manifold vacuum. doesnt it give the opposite effect? No, it will work close to the same. Will idle more advanced and have a little more advance on part throttle than ported (than on a stock setup) but would be good. Link to comment

Will idle more advanced and have a little more advance on part throttle than ported (than on a stock setup) but would be good. so I could sacrifice the EGR and drill and tap the other runner. you say it's worth it. Assumptively I could retard timing at the dizzy to compensate. Link to comment
smoke Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 Correct and yes, at light load, light throttle, more advance is a good thing. Link to comment
laotsu Posted September 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 shit, I do not like uninstalling/installing L series manifolds. prolly my greatest complaint, that or the fact that OS Giken heads weren't stock on everything. Link to comment
