Why do you have to use the pm function to get help?

State in this thread what issue you are having with your vehicle.

Yes, state the nature of your issue and we can help you out.

If you are willing and able to drive it to the other side of the state, several of us will be at an autocross event. Here are the details on the event:

I'm not familiar with the Holley carbs, but you might want to start a new thread titled something like "need help adjusting Holley carb". This will attract the Holley experts.

As far as timing goes, do you have a timing light? If not, then buy or borrow one. After that, you can either pick up a repair manual or use one of the online manuals for instructions on how to set the timing.
