What a difference!
Last weekend my uncle and I tuned my car and what a difference it makes! A lot faster and smoother, not to mention more mpg. I think my initial poor running condition in the morning is just due to morning moisture, which for the most part is fixed by using a Noah car cover.
Good times ahead!! :yesnod: :yesnod: :yesnod: :cheers: :chevy

Hey Dude,
What did you set your timing at? I set mine at 12 degrees BTDC and found a tremendious difference(75 L-82). Just curious as to what you did?

Re: What a difference! (Rich's75)
Mine is currently at 8* btdc, I asked my uncle if we should set it to spec but he said with this old a car, a little advance would be good. So we just left it like that. Interesting thought on advancing it more though. Do you get better millage? Cause gas is on its way up and everything i can do to squeeze more miles out would be good.

Sorry for not getting back to you right away. Been out of touch a few days (bummer).
No, didn't get any better mileage that I could tell. Just ran better and felt like it had a little better punch on the acceleration. I get about only 10-11 mpg's. Never has gotten any better or worst since I've owned it.
