Thanks to Bubba, Richard in fla, Ol' Ron, and Ross, I finally got my 276 tuned.
I have 20 max mechanical advance, about 8 vacuum advance. I gave her a good workout and diod not have any pinging.
I had some issues with the allen wrench I received to set up the vacuum advance. it was half the size of the wrench that came with the 31034 accel unit I bought yesterday in frustration. The wrench fit both vacuum advance units. More cheap chinese crap. Anyway I tuned in an additional 8 degrees and opened her up going across a local bridge. This is a 276 in a 53 f100. ross pistons, a 77 b cam, H&H balanced crank etc. this little ol truck just gets after it. I hope to see the mileage go up now. Oh yeah, this has a Charlie NY Holley 94. A sweet combo. I have a navarro regular with two uncle max 97's waiting to go on after break in.
wow the title should say a/f meter my keyborad has seen better days.
Richard, if you happen to read this, what is your new project? I saw the blue dizzy cap but I don't know what it is. You being the trail blazer, I'm very curious.

Best regards,
Bill
