Ignition timing 1941 flathead
Back again for a couple more questions.
I got my old girl running pretty good after some good advice from some of you good folks. It was running pretty bad when I got it so I did a compression test, vacuum test, installed the correct plugs, rebuilt the carb, removed the distributor and set the points, new battery, big fat battery cables, rebuilt generator, new made in USA voltage reg. Still 6 volt. Now she starts easily runs smooth and a big difference in acceleration and overall performance. My issue now is it seems to flutter a bit at higher rpms. I have no tach but just by ear I would say aroung 2500 or a bit higher. Is there a way to check or adjust the timing advance? Just seems to me that is the way it feels. I set the points at .016 no idea about the dwell or any other settings. I do not want to over think this stuff being it is my first flathead. I tend to look for the simple cuz I am simple minded! Thanks for the help so far! Davy
