i have a 67 289 in my bronco II,
specs
stock 2bbl 289.
Duraspark conversion
mc 2150 carb off a 351w
has electric choke, and exhaust line runs to it.
any how the questions.
1. timing, i dont have the pointer, but i am able to get it running, is there any way to set the timing by ear?
2. the idle was way high when i started it probally 1500, easy, and the idle scew is backed all the way off, so it there any pointers to get the idle to come down/tune the carb. i didnt have the choke hooked up(does it have to be hook to an exhust gas port, or can i cap it off and just use the 12v power supply?
that and fix a few small leaks, clean the wiring up, and she should be ready to go, actually got her to move on her own power yesterday, but still got alot to do.
