timing running me crazy
#16
Dude, it's not that tough to set the base timing. Here is a link (with photos) of how to do it: How to properly set the timing on a 302 or 351 - FSB Forums
My buddy Scott created the write-up and took the pics.
I hope this helps you out.
How are you "setting the idle RPM"? It is not user adjustable.

A big thanks to rla2005. With the use of the thread u sent I am now on time. BUT , now I got a popping sounds like in the plenum but not sure. And when I give it throttle it sounds like a backfire on the drivers side. Other than that it runs good and good throttle response. Just needs fine tuning. Any ideas ?

Time to start looking at some basics. Do a compression check. Perhaps a valve has not sealed properly. Could still be a small vacuum leak in an intake runner.
Another scenario is if the heads and block were shaved then the pushrod length could be too long, which would unseat the valve(s). That is a stretch, but something to consider.
