timing problem?
I installed a new Timing chain and gears in my 460. I used my timing light to get it close to 12 deg BTC. now when I drive down the road and try to accelerate it doesn't want to shift and acts like going to die. If I keep my foot out of the accelerator and just putt along the tranny will shift and I can slowly pick up speed. When I shut it off after running for a bit its like pulling teeth to get it to start, any suggestions.
Thanks

First off, How many miles on this engine?
A 12* timing setting is different on a new set of gears than a worn set of gears.
In other words a false setting of 12*
You need to find out how much slack there is in the gears & chain.
Does the mark jump around any when you are watching with the timing light?

There is a lot of miles on this engine, the old timing set jumped a tooth on me. So I decided to put a new set in, I lined up the marks, then rolled then engine back and forth , to make sure I was TDC. I pulled the valve cover off so I could double check. When I got everything back together, I had to rotate the distributer counter-clockwise almost all of the way to get it to 12*. When I had the light on it didn't appear to jump around but I could check again.
