weber carb conversion and backfiring?

[hugginsvilleH&A]

what do you guys have your initial timing set at?

and can the ecm( engine control module/ computer) have any play into the advance being applied to the disty? if so will disconnecting the ecm stop the electronic advance(ICM) in the disty and then just rely on the vacuum advance?

'89 Mine wouldn't run worth crap at 0*. I don't know why the book says that. I tried it that way once.

The distributor comes apart. But, you need a puller. I choked when I found out the carb ignition control module inside the distributor was $90 from Four Green. I bought four extra jy carb distributors for parts.

What is a jy distributor? Are they the same as a Festy distributor?

huggins has been away for over two years. I wonder if he ever got his carb replaced or working properly?

After reading this again, I hope he did, but is not promising ...
