    Ballpark numbers were .002 to .0025. Now it's closer to .003.

    Unfortunatly I just joined the club. I forgot to pull timing out the first time I ran boost (dumb!) I knocked and I got out of it. Went home and changed the timing and everything seemed ok. Then my tranny builder was checking the TV cable and told me he felt a slight knock when he moved the throttle on the carb. Checked the filter and I too have little copper and silver flakes for sale.

    Motor comes out Friday :mad:
