Last Sunday, we thought we had tuned and timed the car. Tonight I fired it up and the problems returned. It only fires on 4 cylinders. Hooked up the timing ligt and nothing on #1 sparkplug. Shut the engine down and restarted it. Now all 8 fire. Tried to set the timing to 10deg BTDC and the timing jumps all over the place. Started to backfire through the mufflers and then quit.
Started it again and all 8 cylinders firing. Set timing to 10 deg again and it doesn't want to run. Put it at 20 deg and it runs. Reved it up and it doesn't move past the initial timing. Reset it to 15 and it runs but no advance.
Whats up with this?
Setup is Crane HI6 and HEI distributor.
The frustration with this car is really beating me down.
