advancing timing
12 degrees of advanced timing is fine with regular pump gas right?

RE: advancing timing
Bump it a degree or 2 at a time until she hollas and then back it off. Each car is different due to mileage, wear, carbon build up etc!

RE: advancing timing
It takes about 10 seconds to change the timing, just try it.

RE: advancing timing
thats just too much.... your ending up with too much advance at the top and your going to either loose power or hurt your motor - maybe both

RE: advancing timing
quick question, when you advance timing is it before TDC or after TDC?
