Some days i can go out and the car runs fine and other days it seems like my timing is high or too low. Some days i go out and the car bangs and then clears out. Sum days it doesnt clear out. I jus need sumeone to go thru it and make sure everything is rite from my timing to my spark plugs.

Ive changed plugs. Ive lowered timing. Its got to b something im overlooking that makes it do these things. Some days it feels great and some days it doesnt. I went to the track with this car and ran a 12.86 with no stall. I went out last week and drove around and beat a well built 383 stroker and came went out yesterday and lost to a LT1 with headers and LT4 heads. Night and day. Im tellin u man!!!!!

I didnt mean it that way. This was my first time at the track. I have a TCI 3400-3800 stall convertor. So i pulld up and turnd on first bulb and tried to stall more and rolld thru light so i got completely out of stall to bak up and try again but my partner told me to jus run it thru so i did. Thats wat i mean by no stall. My 60ft was a 2.0182 which u know is horrible. 1/8 mile was 8.30 and 1/4 was 12.86 at 109.42 mph so i feel the car ran really gud on top end bcuz of the mph. But dats wat i mean by no stall(dead idle i guess i shud have said)
