    Ford 302 pinging

    On the Rochester there is a step up spring assy coming out of the airhorn, this opens the power valve at lower vacuum. Might be hanging up or have debris in power valve. Do you plugs look lean? Bottom line if your timing is ok you are lean

    Ford 302 pinging

    I would check what the full total advance is too. Might also look at what fuel pressure is at WOT and if power valve is operating correctly (correct one in terms of vacuum it opens at in there?)- holley carb right?

    Do it however you like either way will be fine. Leave the distributor loose so you can turn it while cranking to get it to run doesn’t hurt to dump some gas down carb to get it going. do you have a roller or flat lifter cam ?

    Priming a Rebuild Engine

    Serial number not correlating. What timing to use? Choke on power wire?

    Not good. Maybe

    because generally these winterization videos with the camco or similar system dont show draining the water out first. While some of my neighbors in upstate NY have used this for years, I wouldn't trust it to fully get freeze protection through out the block. Obviously several ways to skin the...

    Prop size info

    I would ask your engine builder what the recommended WOT is on it. the 3800-4200 was the merc recommendation for the original engine back in the day. Would think that the 13" diameter or porting would allow it to spin up faster, What would probably be even better is dropping to a 17" which...

    If it is five easily accessible drain plugs like on mine , drain the water after each use, takes five minutes. No reason to screw around relying on power to keep a heater going

    MerCruiser 5.7L Low-ish Compression

    What do spark plugs look like ? Wonder if it was running lean and that smoked the intake valves might have overheated and ruined head gaskets ?
