I have replaced my QJet with an Edelbrock. Can I hook the elect choke to the old solenoid wire from the Qjet?

Also, what is the timing degree mark supposed to be set to on a 74 Chev 350 automatic? Do I disconnect the vacuum advance when I time it?|||Yes, fact is even the install instructions from Edelbrock should show this to you.


Yes unplug and block vacuum source to dist. Set your basic timing to 10* take the car out, give it a good romp, if no pining, unplug vacuum source bump up timing 2 * and check again and keep doing so till you start to hear pinging then repeat and back down 1* at a time till ping stops, And if you live out in states that use cold weather fuel this winter back down 2 more Deg and back up 2 when the summer fuel arrives


I think factory is 12* but the other way will give you as much timing as possible for the most power without burning holes in your pistons or burning valves|||Yes you can You'll just need to run a ground to the other wire! And as far as the timing mark it will be on the timing belt pulley underneath the water pump.There will be a slight notch in the pulley and you may need to clean it up a bit. Just align the notch to the 0 on the timing tab and you'll be at TDC top dead center.|||Yes for the choke to work all you need is a switched 12 volt source (your oem coke wire) and a ground wire from choke - to engine block





For tiing turn it on up higher than what people are telling you here.





Most small block chevy engines runs best with 14 to 18* BTDC at idle with the vac advance line un hooked
