46 degrees & the big bang theory
By Jeff - 03/26/2001 4:51:19 PM; IP 203.96.111.202
We were going over the tune on my GT390 Mustang over weekend. Discovered timing was set @ 20 initial, with total advance of 46 degrees. My mechanic said that would likely spell the death of the engine. There was no apparent detonation & when we reduced it to around 42 it lost power & was generally less happy.
Is this much timing going to kill the motor?
