78 Elky 03-01-2004, 12:34 AM Hey, I'm from Castle Rock, Wa and I have had my 78 for about three years now. Right now I am at the University of Idaho studying Mechanical Engineering. I just found this site and it looks like any questions could be answered here. Justin Tommy 03-01-2004, 03:54 AM Welcome to a great site, Justin. Nice elky. How did you get your avatar that big? I thought it was only surposed to be 100x50 pixs. 78 Elky 03-01-2004, 07:46 AM Sorry about the avatar, thought it could be 300x300 but that was for the profile pic. Got it right now. 87SS 03-01-2004, 08:44 AM http://elcaminocentral.com/users/87ss/hallo.gif Justin! meatball 03-01-2004, 11:23 AM Welcome Justin! How do you like the speed 750 demon? I'm installaing one on my 350 this Sunday. Anything special I should know about the setup? 78 Elky 03-01-2004, 03:00 PM The speed demon is awesome, once you get the engine dialed in around it. I put it on and had a heck of a time getting everything to work right, but then again it was a brand new engine and I had some other things wrong too. I eventually had to take it to someone that new what their way around a demon. The first thing he said is get rid of the vacuum advance line and use the built in mechanical advance in the distributor. Then set the timing at 32-34 degrees at like 3000 rpm and let it be. My initial was somewhere around 15-18 degrees, just what Demon will suggest. I thought it would be too much, but it works fine and runs like a champ; awesome throttle response, no hesitation at all. I love it. meatball 03-01-2004, 07:37 PM Thanks Justin. Ill give it a try and let you know how it worked out. I really don't know about the mechanical advance but I'm sure messing with the timing until it settles down will work. I HAVE A 9/16 WRENCH AND A BUDDY TO FOLLOW ME AROUND ON THE TEST DRIVES IN CASE I NEED HELP. | ||
