Its an 85 307 from a 442, Is it do-able? I have a vacuum advance distributor now but i cant get it to run right. The engine should be fine. The block in in great shape and the heads were just remanufactured so im sure it a timing issue. Thinkin maybe the problem is with the distributor? I barrowed it from my 72 olds 350. Just curious if it would work with non CCC carb.

My question is? If the 307 is out of an '85 442 (which is the car I own) how are you using a vacuum advance distributor? Did you change the carburetor also?

Yes it's out of an 85 442 and right now I'm not using anything because I'm having trouble setting the timing.
But yes, I have a vacuum advance distributor and non CCC carburetor. Just sounds like it has a mean misfire?

The CCC is a all or nothing system. The CCC distibutor will not advance without the CCC carb in place. Converting a car to non CCC opens up a can of worms, it doesn't solve problems.

I like the advice above that said be sure two plug wires arent crossed.

Also Be sure your distributor is not installed 180degrees off. IE TDC on the exhaust stroke.

Non CCC carb will run with a CCC distributor, but like mentioned above, the electronic timing advance will be lost.

Stick with your non CCC carb and the vacuum advance distributor. Get it to TDC compression stroke, and set timing from there. When settinginitial timing, dont forget to disconnect and plug the vacuum line for the vacuum advance.
