New curve: 6 degrees BTDC., Vacuum Advance is connected. 11/12 23
Note: The problem, after a sudden stop coming off the Highway @ 70 MPH, we had to wait 15 min. to restart. Then Mike reasoned that it is possible that the lower Hose is supposed to have a metal coil spring in it to keep it from collapsing. Lou said that it is missing, perhaps it dissolved over the years or he forgot to put it back in, he can't remember. Secondly, the Cap on the Radiator can still be an issue.
When he was in the middle of getting these timing numbers, he found that both the Hoses were collapsed at once. We are pulling the lower Hose, so we can verify the spring presence or not. We can match the lower hose up at Advance Auto or just order the correct one online. I'm thinking about buying a new Radiator Cap as well. Sounds like Tom was right when he said that something else is going on here and others possibly thought the same thing. The sogga continues...
Looks like this:
RPM's HG Degrees
(1)650-700 9 6
(2)1000 13 18
(3)1250 14 26
(4)1500 16 30
(5)1750 18 34
(6)2000 20 38
(7)2250 21 40
(8)2500 22 40
(9)3000 22 40

Note: Cliff, I am struggling and frustrated with this car, no offense, sorry about any misunderstanding, just bad luck after bad luck, with this Vehicle. I am getting burnt out trying so hard for the last two years, only to feel like I just started this project all over again ten years ago, especially with this temp. crap.
Note: With the Vacuum advance hooked up, All-in @ 2500 RPM @ 40* and 22" HG. We are @ 6* initial BTDC.
