Installed my Snyder 6:1 head. My engine is .100 overbore so the compression ratio will be a little higher than 6:1. Does anyone have an idea how much higher? Where should I keep the timing? About 24-25 degrees?
I had a hell of a time getting this thing started. Finally ended up removing the B Distributor and carb and installing the A Distributor and carb. Got it all running and starting. Now I will re torque the heads tomorrow evening and run it some more.
