I would have to rebuild the dist. inside, with the parts I own, in order to try what your saying. I will try this when I rebuild this dist., this will come after the Trans. gets broken in. I would like to have this Engine tuned properly. Currently, we have taken all the Cam timing out and went back to a factory 1.5-degree Cam advance, built into the Stick. We have proven that the Cam is Milled to spec. by the Melling manufacture by using the degree wheel that I purchased recently. Once we pulled the excessive Cam timing out and added Water Wetter to the Pontiac and 421 mods, we have normal Temps. across the coolers and Block and Heads. Further highway speed testing to come.
P.S. For those of you that think I lack the skills you have, better think, it has been 10 years since my novice days started and how many of you have built your own Trans. . I gave myself an "A" for that job. Plus, my motor is still cleaner than most of yours inside by flushing it out with Trans. fluid and if I could I would add an addendum to the Manual depicting so.
