I'm running as much advance as possible, without getting any pinging under full load, but I have no idea how much that is. The issue is that with this configuration, she needs to be cranked over at least 3 revolutions to start. If I decrease the advance she starts right away but I don't feel that I've got the same power / efficiency. I want to log this properly and therefore I need to know the exact timing.


that why you get a regraphed dizzy, they change the springs/weights etc and can change the curve that the dizzy advances on, so you can have a good base timing but have it advance more as your driving to get you to the same total advance as you used to have with the higher base timing.

get a timing gun and check what the timing advance is at a higher rpm on your good current setting, you should be able to see how many degrees it advances to

G'day Gents,

I've been driving the HQ around for quite some time now and am wondering whether or not I should switch to an EFI system.

I'm looking at Holley and Edelbrock EFI systems. Can anyone here let me know whether or not the Holden engine can accept a standard Chevy intake?

No, the Holden V8 & the SB Chev are totally different designs.
