Hey there,
This is my first inline 6 and I could use some help on how to time a 6. Im not sure where the timing mark is or what the timing should be.
Its a 1966 Nova 230 with rochester 1bbl
Any help would be great.
also on a side note, Im having a bog issue with quick acceleration. Timing by ear I got it to bog less with a steady quick acceleration but if you mash it you hear a big gulp of air go into the carb and the engine chokes and sometimes dies out if you dont get out of it. Iv gone thru the carb, cleaned it and fixed a flooding issue with the float needle. It was and probably still running a little rich as I have black plugs and had black sut coming out of my muffler. Its the worse when engine is first warming up and I think when its wet out. So Im thinking maybe electrical? I pulled a spark plug wire and while holding it in my hand I was shocked, could that be bad shielding on the plug wires? Could the condenser be going out and Im getting a weak spark? I replaced the coil recently with a brand new spare I had laying around.
Anyways Id like to get the engine timed correctly with a light first and foremost but any advice on my issues would be very appreciated.
Thanks!
