I tried the dizzy spring swap that's in the sticky here, and replaced what I think is the "heavier" of the two springs.
I did not bend the tab as per the second instruction, because I wasn't sure about the doing it correctly.
As long as I don't romp on the gas the engine is running smoothly and has great mid-range response.
But from a stop it's much too easy to stall the engine with a heavy foot.
I'm going to pull it and do some more tinkering and was hoping for some suggestions.
I will take a drive today with the vacuum unhooked and see how she runs.
Will bending that spring tab make a difference? The instructions are a little murky, can someone clarify which post or tab to bend?
Oh, and I'm using a 13* cam plate on the dizzy, and have the initial timing set at 10*, for 36* total mechanical advance.
I also have a 10* cam plate available if it make a difference.
Using ported vac from a Holley 1946.
I assume that when I accelerate, vacuum drops almost to zero, and then it stalls?
I'm not talking about foot to the floor, just quick throttle actions bog and stall it.
