Eye candy! Very nice! The cam is pretty serious for a flat hydraulic. That will really 'shake' things up. Mavericks are really fun when you sit at red lights with the whole car wobbling. People stare, wondering what the heck is going on. The car is so small that it is very noticable. At least in my Mavs. I also like how you mounted the General's alternator. Is it high output? That why you are using it? Having owned some bowties with that alternator mounting, I will say to watch that upper mount arm. They are very long for only having one bolt at each end. Often they tend to flex a lot. Plays havoc on belts and bearings. The solid mount you have at the bottom may help things greatly though. I don't recall our SBC mounting the alternator solid anywhere. It's been a while since I have looked though. I just remember that long arm making the alternator wave like a flag in the wind when the car ran. Good luck Gorgeous engine! Dave
Ahh, the memorys... I can still feel and hear the rumble... Almost makes me want to put a V8 in my '69.5. :evilsmile
yeah its the one wire 100 amp alt from summit, i think i may fab some kind of bracket for the lower bolt for some extra support a bit later on
Based on your specs I would intially set the the base timing at 10 tdc and then 12tdc. See where it idles best. Then I would set the dizzy up with the lightest spring available. Put in the bushing to get you closet to 34 total at the 2800 rpm range. Then set it up to advance 32 then 36. Track time may be necassary to find the sweet spot. I should have you close though. If it improves with 36 try 38 degrees past that I doubt you will see any gains. Jets? I have never set up an avenger? How close it is to the standard holley 4140? It will likely need big secondary jets and about 6-10 sizes down in the frt. Again you will need to track test or buy an Air Fuel ratio meter. I'm getting one from santa this year Jets I guess start with 77's in the frts and 84's in the rear.
