general timing question

By Dan Blaske - 10/15/2003 9:35:36 PM; IP 24.53.221.110

in regards to the intial ignition timing.....what would cause a back fire/ or miss when trying to accelerate? I am experiencing a pop----pop--pop type sound if I accelerate in gear. I am going to do some trial-n-error timing and hopefully get it right>however, it would be helpful to know if I should concentrate on advancing the timing more or retarding it. (oh, and is advancing the timing- changing from 6 degrees BTDC to 10 degrees BTDC? or is that retarding it?...I think it is advancing it,right?) Right now, with the vaccum advance disconnected, I am at 6 degrees BTDC.(motor is a 351 windsor<2 barrrell carb/2valve per cyl.) I would appreciate any info./opinions you can offer me...thanks, Dan Ps.- I have just put in a set of roller tip rockers and new push rods....could one or more of them be over tightened, in turn also adding to this problem....I was very careful and made sure each cylinder was at TDC when snugging them down(as per the instructions).....the car does have hydraulic lifters.

This thread, so far...
