The cam is also brand new, Installed when the motor was built 7000mi ago. The motor was taken down to the block. No wear on either the cam teeth or dizzy teeth. The timing change is around 45-60 degrees.
Yes, I've marked the dizzy to make sure it is not moving. I've even taken a chizel to put a small notch to make sure it is not rotating. At first the advance wieghts and spring were rusted a bit so I pulled them off cleaned them then put them back with a little dielectric grease, no change. So I...
Does not have a standard coil has an MSD HEI coil. The hold down is working (that was my first thought) I have replaced it twice to be sure. The change in timing is very drastic. If I move the plug wires on the dizzy one post forward or back it is almost perfectly back in time. If I previously...
I have a 1970 FJ40 with an 86 350 chevy. For some reason it keeps "jumping" or loosing time. It has an MSD Billet dizzy. I have replaced every part in/on the dizzy twice. I have also tried 3 different carbs (holley, edelbrock, rochester). I have replaced the timing chain twice and also tried a...

Those of you with armsrong steering do you know what size tires the manual box from a '70 FJ40 can handle or does it just matter the size of the arms doing the steering?
I've read all of your posts and read Jim's explaniation on the location of the shakles. My question is does the same that applies to toyota springs apply if you are going to put chevy springs on your rig?
What this thread boils down to is are you a real Guy and can handle a some road noise, a bit of a bumpy ride, and a that faint smell of exhaust coming through the back window. Or do you have a hatchet wound between your legs, therefore, you are going to bring it like a bitch and shoud have never...
Brian,... out of sheer morbid curiosity I am going to rebuild my quadrajet, my holly truck avenger, and my edelbrock carb then will adjust all of them to make sure they are all working in tip top condition. Then I'm going to take them out on an obstacle course, and see who performs the best. I...
Yes it is a V8. I got some good news today a friends of mine just junked an old truck he had laying around. Befoer junking it he took the carb off it, it happens to be a holly truck avenger. I also went rummaging through my storage and found a spare distributor cap and rotor. Just need to buy...
