'85 El Camino, fresh 350, Quadrajet, HEI.

Actually drove it in a circle and back to the driveway.

Anyways it's popping a bit and spitting fuel out the carb. I have the base timing at 10*, I might bring it back to 8*, I don't know.

I have one last vac line I don't know where the hell it goes so I have it capped off right now. It wasn't hooked to anything when I got the car either.

I'll double-check the firing order. When I plug the distributor back in, I should show timing a bit higher than 10* right?

 

Forgive my dumbass...helps if 5 & 7 are on the right terminals.

 

lol I was going to ask

It happens sometimes

 

Don't feel bad i did the same thing

 

crossing 5 & 7 is the moist common wire cross on SBCs, no biggie

 

Thanks guys, I don't feel so dumb now.

 

I just did a tune up on my Camaro a few days ago and did the same thing....lol
