I have found the pink wire from the ignition switch to the relay to the starter solenoid, it's tests 11.73 volts pulled and hooked to a meter but.... re attached and in crank mode, only 9 volts engaging the starter. Would it benefit running 12v to a another relay to activate 12v to starter and...

Dave you can see the coil mounted to the bracket on intake near #8 cylinder

Ok Dave voltage at coil ignition on is 8.21 volts, and on starting found the problem, first video the ground fell off before it cranked, notice no 12 volts, 2nd video it will show 16volt but too late.

Yes I did update it to an electronic regulator

Video 2 was right after video 1, seemed like same no spark condition again but it started right away? Remember it starts right up when cold, it's only when hot and I let it sit a bit that it takes a while.

Okay was able to check today, and....notice no spark until crank in video 1.

Funny thing, on restart no black smoke, non at all...That's not the funny part, getting to that. The next day I thought I would shoot a little ether down the throat of the carb, still no start..you still have to turn it over a bit to get it to crank. Do you think it's an ignition issue? There's...

Dropped the timing down to 9 degrees and boy was it a turd on the drive in this morning. Like I said it liked 12 degrees and didn't ping so I move it back up this evening. Start issue is still there and forgot to look at the tail pipe on start up...will try to remember tomorrow.

SWEET!

I presently have it set at 12 degrees at idle with vac line plugged, but total is 40, maybe I should back it off to 10 degrees should get me 38 total?. It doesn't ping or is hard to turn over. When starting hot I do have to give it gas to start, it will just spin over if I don't.

Hey Dave, sorry I didn't clarify that properly. The starting issue is it's cranking over a lot. And when I buy Eddy carbs or any carb for that matter the first thing I do is adjust the floats, there always off after shipping. I don't believe there's any black smoke but I'll have to look next...

What is recommended total timing for this beast. It's pretty stock and rebuilt and installed in my '63 Sweptline with 4 speed, stock 10.1 compression, Elgin 214/224, 444/466 cam, electronic ignition, Eddy carb, Performer intake, dual exhaust. I've heard 12 degree initial with 36 total, sound...

On cleaning up my standard bore Oem pistons I noticed one that was a bit odd, same part #'s but no holes, drill them or leave be? What are they for oil?

I have a '65 413 and on the fence for a 4 speed manual or 727, or maybe a RH42 with Ultra Bell (these bells are out at the moment) I can find a 833 local (tail shaft shifter) but man I would like to find a used bell housing and clutch set up all in one, my crank is a 6 bolt....do the small...

Well thanks for all that info, must appreciated. I had no clue those heads had as cast valve seats, weird for sure, maybe just a fresh valve job will do for now. Just to let you in on whats happening, the engine I bought was out of a '65 Imperial with 80K on the odometer, it was his grandfathers...
