Default stupid question

when setting the timing, im setting mine to 10 degree's. Does the pointer have to line up with the 10 degree mark when the timing light flashes or should i be looking for the mark somewhere else?

when the light is flashing, the 10 should line up with the pointer. you should be able to run 12* for a little better throttle response without having to run higher octane. there is some one on here who always posts a link to a good how to set your timing page, hopefully that person will chime in
