Timing problems
By Todd Novak - 06/07/2002 12:14:27 AM; IP 208.155.6.235
I need some defining. I've seen posts where people are running about 38 total degrees of advance. I think I'm understanding Shoe when he states that dist. degrees will be twice that on the crank. If I have (on a dist. machine) 13 degrees in vac. advance & 15 degrees of mechanical advance this should show as 56 degrees on the crank at full advance. My initial is at 17 degrees (on the crank) therefore my total is 73 degrees. Is this the correct way of thinking??
The above is what I'm running on my 390. The vac advance comes in quick just above idle. Full mechanical advance is at 2000 dist rpm. Is this ok or am I looking for problems? The car runs best at 20-23 degrees of initial advance. This seems way too much. Any less than 17 I've got to slip the clutch to get the Galaxie going.
This thread, so far...
