Timing impact on Oil Pressure???
I installed a DUI HEI awhile back it works great, however, it would appear that I have a substantial range with my timing, from 5 to 13 degrees BTDC. Will the proper or improper timing (increasing or decreasing) have an impact on my oil pressure? Since installing the HEI the best Oil pressure with engine hot 215degrees is 27 psi @ 2000 RPM, but it really takes a dive at idle 6 psi @ 850 rpm. with engine cooler @190 degrees 57psi @ 1800 rpm and idling @ 30psi So one thing I’m trying to do is get the engine to run cooler, maybe a new Rad or vent the hood etc

Tip:

Remember, a 4x4 cannot be treated like a normal car when cornering. The 4WD will roll over much easier than a car while cornering, due to the higher center of gravity. This applies to gravel and paved roads equally. Although a four wheel drive vehicle generally has better traction on gravel than a car, when safe cornering speeds are exceeded the four wheel drive will tend to roll earlier than a car.
