10 BTDC isn't really a problem. I think I run around that now.. My 440 barely runs at TDC which is what the factory calls for. 2.73 gears helps mileage, but 18 is pretty high..
I've thought about multi port fuel injection, that at the very least is pretty neat. there are some good kits out there with computer for converting it over.
Adam,
79? Is it a warranty block or something (no VIN)? 78 was the last year for the B-Blocks in cars and trucks. I think I heard that there were some 79's which were sold for warranty replacements, but thats about it. Of coarse excluding the newly tooled ones as of recent.
