Re: Running rough. Any Ideas?

Desert, I know what the issue is with the temp. I have too small of an electric fan on there.

I cannot use the manifold vacuum for the advance. It simply gives way too much advance. I have found to get the appropriate throttle response off idle it cannot be set more than it is now and I could probably back off a couple degrees and get even better response from the engine. As it is right now I can gun it from a dead stop and leave a 30 foot mark down the road. This is the best the response has been since I installed the engine. This is close to the way I set things from the start. When I put it all together I used 8* initial and no vacuum advance.
