Hello all, I was curious as to if anyone had experience running a weber 38 2bbl conversion. Mostly interested in what cam you are using. I have recently bought a 66 200 with a small log head, which was cut down 60 thousands and had the block 0 decked. Oversized valves were also installed. It seems as my cam is lacking the proper amount of overlap (clifford 270 .214@.050 .478 Lift) told it was installed with the dots lined up (no degreeing but built in 4 degrees advance) I read the tech section on classic inlines and it describes how cams with more overlap prefer higher static compression. Because they reduce dynamic compression right? I say this because ive been having an on going problem with detonation/pinging no matter which way i spin the distributor and no matter what i set the timing curve to. Too retarded its spits out the intake. Too advanced it pings. Ive tried jetting up with little luck. I posted about this before. Just curious if anyone else has experience with a 2bbl conversion and high compression any more help is greatly appreciated. I know this is kind of a repost but i am truly stumped.
