My advice is it get a accurate timing setting on it first. Weather that means putting a new timing cover on if the tab is missing, or aftermarket timing tab (not sure if the stock balancer will work with a aftermarket tab since ive seen them before not match. Maybe someone here can verify)

Set the timing to 6 degrees advance with the EST wire unplugged. If it pings bring it down a little bit. Start with that and go from there.
I got a Mr.Gasket one in the mail...The car honstely feels like its on the rev limiter at 3k rpm. Like it hits a wall.

Maybe just not seeing it but it looks like there is nothing there. Ill double check, its not what Im used to looking at. Used to old school sbc stuff and ls1's so I was looking for a timing scale like the old sbc's used to have.
