    crank timing

     



    ok so i just got my brand new clevite double roller, and its got timing advance on it, stock, 2 degree and 4 degree... I'm running a ford 302 in my 66 mustang, 2bbl carb(temporary), a lil torquier cam, roller rockers and 69 HI PO heads... i was just wondering if its best to leave the advance at stock or if theres any benefits/problems of advancing it.... i dont want to advance it and then run into a buncha problems and have to tear the front of my engine all apart... any help would be great... thanks

    Advanced=more high end horsepower
    Retarded=more low end hp
    Be careful not to advance or retard too far, can cause some problems that require redoing cam timiming and tearing it apart again.
    It ain't broke if you can fix it.

    alright, so since i have an automatic transmission, i should probably go with the low end HP, and get some better launches
