Hey everyone, newbie here with a question that can hopefully be answered and maybe it's a common problem (I can hope right)
Anyway, I am picking up a 78 280 from a friend. All stock, it will be getting a v8 of some sort or a turbo swap in the near future. First I need to smog the stock engine....From what I am told the guy can set the timing and fire it up and it will run flawlessly. After driving for a bit, turn it off, then the timing will be off...
Is this a comon problem that anyone can give me most likely fix for? Or should I wait to see the car in my hands and diagnose it from there? Thanks for the help everyone and I cant wait to get this thing going on here
