I can't agree more.

I have been all through this engine.
Timing
Initial 15
mechanical 18

All in at about 3000 rpm

It is using manifold vacuum

New HEI, no different on points dist built for engine

735 HR Slayer quikfuel carb

all cylinders are right at 160psi

And the speedometer is correct

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
