Foxy Green Foxbody Build

Well if you missed it somewhere, the combustion chamber shape has a lot more Todo with more than the components you seem to be concerned with.

Wow, that was a mouthful eh. So you think foxes up to date chambers are less efficient than my 1970 chambers or you like the cool corners ?

Sadly you are 100% correct. This happens to all forums after time. I have left a few others for the same reason.

Get your timing issue solved first, otherwise you will just be chasing YOUR tail. Not your dogs (hope she is doing well), not chicks, those can be fun tails to chase............

Many performance cams do not like lean A/F ratios, just a heads-up. You will learn what it likes over time. Make it happy, if the AFR required for that seems really out of line we can tackle that later.

But yer going with the locked out timing now right?
And he mentioned the light throttle issues at cruise speed I asked you about also right? 🤷‍♂️
And he mentioned something about changing the settings from how they had it, like I mentioned. 🤔
Ya, no wonder people have left!

Rather than spend thousands on new parts, no I'm not locking timing.

I told you it's lean at light throttle and what was your response?

What settings did you suggest?

Didn't you say fuck the timing, mess with the carb first (or something to that effect) before walking it back a page later?

I don't mind your responses. I like the engagement. I like to hear your experience. But after I make a decision, I don't need to hear about what you would have done instead.

I said the carb will cause damage without you being able to feel it. I agreed timing and carb go hand in hand. I said get a safe timing setting like 28ish° then figure carb out, as far as back tracking goes. The suggestion of locking it out was to eliminate POSSIBLE issues caused by springs, weights or vacuum. And I said a curve may be better after you get the other shit straightened out.
I asked if you were experiencing the light throttle condition and about changing factory carb settings and you didn't reply, but you've had lots thrown at you lately so I wasn't about to harp on it.
Badd daddy has had an issue with me since you degreed your cam in, or maybe before, and I'm sick of his fuckin mouth. But... no need to mess up your thread over it.
I think you take me the wrong way, I'm not telling you what I'd do instead, I'm giving you the only experience I have. Should I talk about someone else's car? Been trying not to even say the word cleveland, but that's what I've worked on, anything else was mild shit.

Great, been sitting on toilet typing too long, now I stood up without wiping and it wasn't a no wiper 😳🤬🤣

I noticed in one of the videros you posted that it looks like you have a dial back timing light with circuitry & buttons on it.

I dunno if that had been addressed but

You CANNOT use that style of timing light with an MSD box cuz the multiple sparks freak the light out & there’s no telling what it will read.

You need a simple old inductive light on an MSD box.
 
Have heard a few complain that they're a bit dim, but the Flaming River timing light is the only timing light I will use.

That is interesting I will further investigate. I bought this one after @Patriot Racer suggested it. I'll have to unfriend him now

Way to throw me under the bus! :lmao:

I'm pretty sure that he has a 30 year old MSD 6AL analog box. I'm pretty sure most of the issues have been with the digital 6 and 7, but I'm just one step from an idiot. Well, depending on who you ask. :facepalm:
