Finally able to dig into my 77 Spyder .....
Here are the basic specs:
Chevy 350
Holley Double Pumper
Not sure of the cam specs, but it has a rough idle that straightens out when you rev it up
MSD Digital 6AL/HEI Distributor
700R4
3.08 Posi Rear End
Conditions:
In park, the engine is very responsive and snappy.
TV cable looks to be adjust properly - at WOT, you can feel there's no more cable to be had. And at idle, the cable is nice and tort and aligned properly with the linkage.
When driving, it goes through the gears very quickly; with 1st being very quick/hard shifting - if I buried the gas, it would definitely more than chirp the tires.
To get the transmission to kick down, you have to really mash the gas pedal to the toe board.
Engine just seems .... meh driving power wise like maybe the timing isn't advancing when needed.
Thoughts?
Thanks!
