24 degrees initial plus another 10 for vacuum. I still haven't gotten the vacuum advance completely figured out in terms of adjustment. Manifold vacuum gradually reverts back to zero with increased throttle input, meaning that my vacuum advance is zero at full throttle. Centrifugal kicks it up...

I've taken a reading of my timing. Base mechanical is 24 degrees BTDC, mechanical pushes it to 34 degrees BTDC, I have my vacuum advance hooked to manifold vacuum, which gives 10 degrees advance at idle. With this I have incredibly quick starting, good power output (I don't have access to a dyno...

I finally did it, the Edelbrock 1906 and Performer RPM is installed. It was pretty straightforward. I got a drop base air cleaner and a 2” open element air filter, no hood clearance issues whatsoever. The transmission kickdown had to be adjusted, and I’ll have to find a way to raise the cruise...

The station drift is very real, there's about a 5.0+- variation between what the displayed station is and the station that's being picked up. I was aware of the 1-wire speakers in the rear. I have the ground wires ran to pre-existing holes in the package tray metal. That's what the FSM wiring...

Some more updates to report: Starting off with the most current one: does anyone know of a reason why my driver's side speakers don't work? There's pops and buzzes but no music. I'm guessing it's just a stripped wire that has to be found, which I'm not overly excited to do. I've been focusing...

So am I, I’m very glad that I didn’t discover this on the side of the road. Late last season I heard a chattering/clicking sound coming from the engine upon letting off the gas after hard acceleration, I’m guessing the chain was so loose that it was slapping against the cover. I consider it a...

Well, I think it was about time to replace this… I was expecting bad, but not this bad. Notice how two of the nylon teeth are completely missing. I counted 16 that were chipped too. That, combined with the slack in the chain, I wouldn’t be surprised if it had 50 more kilometres left until...

I'd assume that you'd be able to just remove the cables, even if you have to cut them, then you'd essentially have the manual mirrors. I believe Chrysler did make a manual mirror, if you'd like to go the "proper" way, you could probably find a parts car with that

Here are the pictures, includes every flaw I could see. There are two sizeable cracks on the rear of the pad section, as well as one small crack on the rear of the wheel section at the 12:00 position. The clear coat on the outer chrome ring has some minor checking, there is a small section where...

Hi Robert, The wheel is free from major imperfections. I believe there is some checking present and possibly some small gouges. Truth be told it’s been in storage for a long time so I don’t entirely remember what condition it’s in. I will get better pictures later today when I get home

Thank you for the input. I watched that video (and a few others on his channel), it's interesting stuff. As far as the intake manifold selection goes, I've done some research and it seems like the regular Performer intake is basically just a stock replacement that performs WORSE than the stock...

I've just realized that I never posted a sound clip of my new exhaust to this thread. Here it is, it came out sounding a bit different than what I expected, but I'm happy with it. It added a bunch of drone in the cabin, but I'm hoping that gets remedied with the addition of sound deadening, if...
