Got the ‘vette started today and adjusted the timing.

Forgot to take a picture while she was out unfortunately .

Timing was at 10 degrees BTDC and should have been at 4...no wonder she was knocking on hard acceleration last time she was out.

Also found the water pump to be making noise so that probably needs to get replaced soon. And she has a small miss, I’m hoping is the spark plugs. I’ve been meaning to do them since they are most likely 40 years old.

Oh and one more thing, I figured out why the battery died on me the last time she was out. The plug going to the alternator had fallen out and seems to be falling apart. Anyone know a good place to find replacement plugs like that?
