Dumb ? about setting the timing too high.
What type of sound will I hear if my timing is set too high, detonation, I think is the right word. I did get my timingpointer,and I am reading the mark ornumber in the small circle area. At least I admitted this was a dumb question right away. I just don't want to destroy anything. Thanks

Where it actually says time. Well I know what I will be doing first thing in the a.m. Thanks adder, I guess this is what happens when you have no starting point to begin with.

RE: Dumb ? about setting the timing too high.
so what will the denotation sound like, I know my shifter make noise in the upper rpms but I am really not sure what I need to listen for. btw, I don't always abuse my car, I am trying to get it running the best I can and that is why I run it around 4 k sometimes. Last time I said that people started telling me how to drive.

detonation at high rpm is sometimes silent
.. when you get there you will hear what sounds like valve rattle backoff about 2 degrees and try it again. then when you dont hear the rattle get the engine warm shot it down and try to restart if it is still to much it will turn over hard
