Please refer to my other post about 'severe bogging'. I need to check my timing. This 240 has an L28 (N42block, N47 head, E88 intake). I have no idea what year, prolly 75-78ish. Carburated turbo kit installed (Rotomaster TO4B). I beginning to wonder if the timing is severly retarded (or just me), and causing the bogging problems. Should I be running stock timing with the turbo, or slightly retarded? And, what IS the stock timing setup?
Boost question: My guage shows 0 at the top. Clockwise reads boost, counter-clockwise reads vacuum. With the debut drive this morning after rebuilding the turbo, it seems to be reading on the vacuum side (10-20psi) all the time....if I punch it it does approach 0, but doesn't seem to read any boost (of course, it's bogging so bad, it's hard to get a good acceleration) Is this normal to read on the vacuum side while driving normally around town?
