FE Technical Forum / Re: Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Idea

I have been down this road, before I start pulling the engine (that's what I did the first time) I check my distributor cap for cross tracks.  Now I always carry a spare cap for those road trips.  No guarantee but worth a look.

May have been said in your posts somewhere but don't remember.....inspect the distributor cap for tracks across posts on the inside.  It happens with just a little amount of moisture.

Simple BB, it does not matter how much water is in the cooling system, it will read a temperature.  When the pressure drops it just means that they have run out of water to pump!!  The temperature gauge does not know the difference between steam and water.

FE Technical Forum / Timing, Heat and A/F ratio?
« on: March 26, 2011, 12:00:31 PM »
(Nice features Jay, especially the spell checker.....opps, it isn't there!)

Now the questions. some spec's 240 @ .050  108 LSA, 10.2 to 1

Heat; I've noticed that with less initial timing, idle heat is higher.  On my 445, 10 degrees is hotter than 12. (195 @ 10, 180 @ 12) in addition I can get a smoother idle at 10.  Is 12 to much?

Air Fuel ratio;  Is there a relation ship between optimum timing, carb tuning and the resulting A/F ratio?  If I've tuned my carbs for the best idle and A/F, will adjusting the timing have an affect on the A/F and how much.

Thanks for any comments,
Woods
