Closed chamber heads with port work & roller rockers

Solid F246 crane cam

4 into 1 extractors with twin 2.5 system

Air Gap manifold with 1" spacer 

750 HP center DP proform carby 

MSD dizzy currently set at 12* with 18* mech advance

advised on jets, power valve & timing would be aprciated.

thanks in advance.

750 DPs come with 73 jets, so that's a good place to start.

Squirters are 31 stock but I reckon a snappy combo like yours with manual box needs 35s and a blue pump cam. Don't go green or pink unless you have the 50cc pump diaphragm.

Power valve number is almost always 1/2 of your idle vacuum. So if it's a pretty hairy idle, say 8" hg, go with either 4.5 or 3.5. Your call on that one, but the ultimate aim is to use as low a number as possible without getting a flat spot coming onto load.

Closed chamber heads can take some decent timing, what you're running should do OK, try dialling a bit more in and see how she goes, say 4 deg.

FYI my little 302 with closed chambers runs best with timing all in at about 35 on load. That's with a 204/214 @ 0.050" hyd cam and 9.4:1 comp.
