Timing help, sbc
I have searched and read but still this is the first time I am trying to fine tune the dist timing so just want to make sure I am doing it right. Ok I have the base timing set at 14 degrees BTDC at 800 rpm. I am using a digital timing light. Ok so I bring the rpms up to 3500 and I have to push the buttons on the light to bring that timing mark on the balancer. It comes out to 16 degrees on the light to get it back to 14 degrees on the balancer at 3500 rpm. So that would make my total timing 30 degrees? Do I need to bump the base timing up 2 degrees to get me to 32 degrees BTDC? The engine is stock , 84 chevy truck, no modifications besides deleting some emission stuff 350/350 stock truck set up. Thanks.Friends dont let friends drive fords!
Dammit, another good ol boy gone. Condolence to the family. RIP Mike
