You have left out a few things By james - 04/16/2003 1:42:44 AM; IP 66.142.197.85 We need to know about the cam specs and the type of tranny. If you are running an automatic then your idle is important. If you are running a standard then it is not as crucial. If you are running an automatic with a cam over about 223 degress of duration without a stall converter then you will need to play with it, like I did, until you get it to where you can live with it. A notable mention is that the FE engines love a lot of timing. Best rule of thumb is after you have wieghted the distributor to the prove standards that you have mentioned is to keep advancing the intitial timing until it starts to ping a little under acceleration then back it off in tiny increments until it quits and that is concidered optimal.

This thread, so far...
