Long story shorter. I replaced the intake gasket on my 409 stroker. Replaced my worn bronze distributor gear with a new one. (Same as the old one). All back together O.K.
Started right up. Intermittent single back fire. Played with timing till back fire went away. Motor is sluggish and not responsive. Checked the timing with my digital light and it reads 28+.!!!! When I try to bring it back to my original 11.5 degrees....the backfiring starts and the motor dies. I have checked TDC and am comfortable that I have the wire in the right order.
I am determined to learn what I need to know about these "W's", but I'm not doing so well.
What do I do now?
Thanks again,
Dennis
