    Timing. Degree or vacuum? Or both

    What do you spray again? Carb cleaner? The RPM will change when the vacuum leak is there.

    That the one I bout too. The rpm’s was nice to set all the different screws. Ac, high idle, and just idle.

    I have a bit but no change. I will do more and see if I can track something down.

    Timing. Degree or vacuum? Or both

    Correct. I had some knocking going on. Found that my timing was way off. Then did a carbon cleaner through the intake vacuum. That got som carbon out but fouled a plug. Got new plugs. Timed it. But the vacuum always seems low. Now just the pursuit to make it run as good as possible which might...

    That first one “air cleaner installed”

    Then the two turns out is a good starting point?

    Ok I will make sure that is plugged. I think I just can take off the top hat.

    EGR is hooked up. I think working properly. I don’t hear much if any difference in the “ping” regardless of where the timing is. Do you think it’s just that we have old cars and it needs higher octane fuel? In a perfect world it should run great on 87. If I switch out my cat would that help the...

    Always great info. Thank you.

    After timing it to the BB. I here a slight I mean ever so slight ping/knock on a long up hill grade at like 40-45 mph when accelerating

    You don’t think the air cleaner of will replicate a big vacuum leak?

    When setting the mixture screw I think there is some different thoughts. Air cleaner on or off?

    So all the way in would be the least amount of fuel? Then all the way out would be the richest it can go. These old trucks are going to have a more then pungent exhaust smell right? But what is acceptable?

    When you are turning in a mixture screw are you adding more air or fuel? or is it the opposite? I do feel that my exhaust smells rich. the exhaust analyzer would tell me if I am running to rich or lean. Then I would set idle to that? that if my timing was on and cat is working correctly. I...

    How do you be absolutely sure that the mixture screw is exactly where it needs to be? What are some signs that you are off? Either to rich or to lean. Also set all carb setting with the air cleaner on right?

    but if I turn my timing more advanced the vacuum gauge will go up. So I'm not sure what to think about that
  17. LandoNick

    Timing. Degree or vacuum? Or both

    The 2 degree advance I think was the best for my motor. felt responsive, no ping, idled smooth. My issue still is a low vacuum reading? Is that something that I need to look into more? and if the needle on the vacuum gauge is bouncing is that a sticking valve? I need to adjust my valves I...

    Might be a stupid question. If I have my timing light set in zero and the “BB” set on the pointer that is 7 degrees advanced. To advance the timing by 2 degrees. I would set the advance on the timing light to 2 degrees or 9?

    Might be a little difficult in your case with new 62 but I think it’s just a feeling. More pull through the gears or response from the throttle. If you have owned a 62 before and try and compare the feeling of both. Or stop at your local dyno after each adjustment 😂

    So I’m at 171 feet. So I think I will try the 2degree method that was talked about before. I have a 87 fj60. So I do appreciate the 3fe knowledge. But it blew over my head.
