does anyone know if someone makes a kit that bolts up to the stainless long tube headers that Tom's Bronco parts sell?

Thanks for the additional information Paul

Okay gotta it set didn't know you had to have the vacuum advance unhooked and plugged. Just a fraction off. 12 ° at idle now. Whew. The headaches of learning. Grr. Thanks everyone for ideas

Yes they are doubled checked both. I may have been trying to achieve this improperly. I have had the vacuum advance to the carb hooked up. Upon further reading this looks to be the incorrect way!

Do I need to raise idle speed to support the 34° @ 3500 rpms and work backwards from there bring the idle back after setting initial timing?

Yes carbed 4 barrel holley new.

It also doesn't seem to have smooth operation on the road. If I cycle the rpms up and down it sounds smooth operational could all this be fixed by exhaust?

Yes it was a complete motor with wires and all double checked to make sure of the order. It was pulled to install the heater pickup tube it's and hei distributor

I just tried as soon as it idles down it just dies. Hmm. I would have thought it to only be off a smidgen having pulled and marked everything. Very frustrating

Hi all got a new engine and had to pull distributor, was run by builder and dyno'd drained and shipped. Marked distributor before and rotor position. Everything went back in starts and runs fine but timing is way off from specs given. Should I more distributor to timing specs leave where is...

I know the extreme mounts I got have a long side and a short side to the triangle. If the long side is pointing down it would raise the motor up which I believe in theory would cause the engine to tilt more. Just a thought though.

Yeah the extension part.

What is the purpose of the tube that extends down into the intake on the water inlet tube. Would like to button up my engine install before Monday but need one of these. Was wondering if I could create my own fitting to get running.

Got the engine in had to take the passenger side engine mount to off. It's all in and bolted up. Now for all the accessories

I don't know what year the block is from. Crate engine from BluePrint. I did get an adapter from wildhorses to address the issue
