Ok, I took over someone elses headache and project. I have a 327 Chevy SB
it has an Edelbrock 600 carb and intake, with a good cam and roller rockers. Thats about all I know except it is 350 horse. Now someone told me to set the timing at 8 degrees above TDC. Does this sound right? Right now it's at 4 degrees before TDC and runs hot and like crap. Thanks for you help!
