Hey Biggin, I owe Flareside_thun a timing job, and would be glad to do yours at the same time. I will second what Mel says about the fuel starvation causing retarded timing. After I put my injectors in I checked my timing and I was at about -6ATDC at 1400 with luminosity and I was like WTH?? I then noticed I had forgotten to turn my e-pump on, turned it on and I was at about -2.5(close to where it should be) so that accounted for 3-3.5 degrees of dynamic timing. That's enough to make a difference! I would definitely replace that lift pump asap. I'd instead get a Carrier pump and a GM 454 blockoff plate for where your lift pump is. I'll be free a little more after Apr 20th when I finish classes. I'd love to meet you and Junior and you all aren't that far away.
