    New Wrecker prospect opinions

    Ok so i tried to get a wrecker a few weeks ago and that guy flaked on me. So here is a new prospect. it's a 1982 Chevy with a 6.2. The good: the body is in great shape. VERY little rust. Has a wheel lift, and a extendable boom. In general the truck seems sturdy. 4 speed trans, PTO and all...

    so now that i at least have a mt480 working i have found some interesting results. once the engine is good and warmed up i get ~7.5ATDC at 1400 rpms. This is pretty far retarded so i am thinking i need to advance the timing a bit. Then i switch over to WVO and at 1400 rpms the timing is now...

    Troubleshooting mt1480

    I am trying to time my engine using my brand spanking new snap-on mt1480, but i am having a hell of a time. I have a good tach signal, but as soon as i hook up the diesel timing adapter the signal goes all crazy. The rpms read 75XX and there is not timing reading at all other than brief...
