Boy what a difference when your running on 8 cylinders instead of 7. I climb into a plane super quick and I had 4200ish wot rpm. About 48mph. I probably could of got more but I was in a small pond so I ran out of runway. My only slight issue I have now is between 1k and 2k it still has a tiny...
Figured I give another update... so after spending all day Sunday swapping distributor and going through my old carb and putting that back on then putting my original distributor back in cause nothing was changing the problem. (Also accidently cooking my water pump cause I forgot to put the dang...
