need tuning help
 

Hey everyone, I have a 1978 Camaro with a 350 in it, and I can't for the life of me get the timing and carb adjustments right,
I think its supposed to be at 8 degrees above tdc and I'm not sure how to set the 4bbl Rochester carb, anyone have any experience
With this stuff? Should I perhaps take it somewhere to get it professionally tuned for peak performance? Also does anyone have
Any tips or suggestions on the MSD 6AL and blaster 2 coil on a 1st gen 350? Thanks everyone!

Adam,

Some light reading for you:

There are really no suggestions for the 6AL and Blaster 2 as long as they are working right. Only two exceptions- if the 6AL is in a tight enclosed area or near a heat source you may want to consider moving it, and if the Blaster 2 is mounted sideways you should probably turn it to be vertical.

thanks for the tips! i'll check out that site

if the motor was freshly rebuilt, the timing chain could be off ,even just by one tooth,that will give u the simptoms ur describing.
