    Setting Timing Issue

    Re: Setting Timing Issue Yes, I can post up the results when I get back to the shop tomorrow. But I honestly didn't even think of valve float. That is something I need to definitely check.

    Setting Timing Issue

    Re: Setting Timing Issue I just want to thank you very much for the information and advice you have shared with me. I ended up advancing the distributor 2* on the crank pulley each time(while logging for knock, AFR, Timing, boost, etc) and each pull it got better. So I believe what you said...

    Setting Timing Issue

    Re: Setting Timing Issue The new distributor did come with a new cap and rotor. I still have my old cap and rotor that I can actually bolt onto this one. The ignition module is brand new as well in the new distributor. So my plan as of now is to change cap and rotor. Try it. Then stay on the...

    Setting Timing Issue

    Re: Setting Timing Issue So to put the picture into words. Before MSD distributor went bad. The truck was making 629awhp @ 4050rpms and held 600awhp until 5000rpms, and drop to a minimum of 500awhp by 5500rpms. And now with the new distributor that I bought from White's Performance(which...

    Setting Timing Issue

    Re: Setting Timing Issue Well I set the timing on the distributor as close as possible to what the ignition timing was on my DataMaster. It did seem to idle and start up good. And also seemed to drive pretty good. So I strapped it down to the dyno and these are the results. The blue graph...

    Setting Timing Issue

    Re: Setting Timing Issue Thank you for the advice, but this was stated in my original post that I have tried with MSD box hooked up and unhooked. And it didn't make any difference. But I am going to leave it disconnected when I set the timing today. And plug it in when all done. Thanks

    Setting Timing Issue

    Re: Setting Timing Issue Yes, it is a decently aggressive build. As for the tuning, it was done by a tuner when I was back in Tennessee. I am not in Florida. And I tuned my Typhoon I got when I moved down here. But it is nowhere near the power of the Syclone. So just match the distributor...

    Smoke after WOT

    Re: Smoke after WOT You can also pull the intake tube going to the throttle body and see if there is any oil in it. Oil in your intake tubes could be a sign of turbo going bad.

    Setting Timing Issue

    Re: Setting Timing Issue Yes, using correct mark. I am running the ATI Balancer. So it is numbered completely around the entire pulley. So no mistake of reading the wrong mark as long as the pulley is installed correctly. Which I did verify.

    Setting Timing Issue

    Hello, I am brand new to this forum, but am not really new to the Syclone/Typhoon scene. But I am having a little issues with my 1991 Syclone. I just installed a new distributor from White's Performance. I was running MSD distributor before this distributor and the pickup went bad on it and...

    Fuel Rail problems

    Re: Fuel Rail problems You can remove the paint and weld it. Or if you don't have the actual ability to weld it. Then can just remove it and give to a local welder. Definitely will want to TIG weld it tho.
