altitude and timing
- Thread starter jimi87-t

Well thanks guys for the info, the timing thing never really made scene to me (no offense intended).
I've also heard that some of the first turbo/supercharger development took place right here at pikes peak, not sure if thats true, but cool if it is.
I got her back up and running, set timing at 10deg. Hope this time around she holds

I wouldn't exactly call 2200 meters a speed bump. You've got that big rock out in the middle of nowhere too
Not real big in the scheme of things though JJ
Speaking of "The Rock" me half way up it many years ago!
(wasn't that long out of hospital and was proud to have made it to the top)

That's a great pic Ian. From photos I'd always thought Ayers was too steep to hike. Good job. Better you than me though...I'm afraid of heights
LMAO good qualification for a pilot
There's a chain for a handhold, it's very steep in parts while we were going up a Japanese woman lost her footing and I managed to grab her arm as she fell past us, I was holding her hanging by her wrist. :aigo:
There's a board at the bottom that list how many people have died climbing it.
You can see the path up in this pic.

Like a totally different car.
One day when you aren't doing anything, get on I-70 and go east. About half way across Kansas you will wonder what happened.
JJ, I don't have my old 852 course here, but it sure seems like that engine load is a correction factor for ignition. The Autoshop page(older course) on TCCS says the same thing. edit; It says engine load is a base factor, along with Ne and G1. Not a correction.
Jimmy, I didn't mess with my timing when I lived in Denver. We have a closed loop timing circuit. Not very advanced mind you, but the gains were not noticable, if they existed. Measured by the butt meter. Unlike an EEC-IV Mustang, which is set(advance), and changes to base are noticable. As total is effected.

Thanks Nick. I totally forgot you use to live out here. Now I remember you telling me that when I first started talking about moving here.
Another interesting thing about altitude, I noticed my vac seems lower, around 15 in/hg. I'm pretty sure it was more than this in TX.
So I checked all my vac lines and they are fine (and brand new BTW)
So I did a search for altitude affecting manifold vac, and read a few write ups about it. And they say that for every 1000 ft of elevation there is a loss of 1 in.
Here are a couple links:

So if this is accurate, my reading of 15in is good, I'm at 6500ft.
Or is this all hog wash too, and I need to start looking for problems.....
