My buddy just got a 5.0 and he wants t advance his timeing but I can't see the marks on the balancer.... Could I just white out the 10 degree and then adjust the timing light dial to 14 and done Or do you white out the 0 the dial the timeing light to 14

 

0 then add the 14. Remove the spout connector when setting the timing.

 

Does it matter that thE crank is marked at 10... then dial the timing light to 14, and move the dizzy to the mark.., isant that the same thing???

 

That way if he doesn't have a dial on a timing light he can alway go back to factory

 

If my blancer is marked at 10' and I dial my light to 10 and the mark is at the point. What's my timing really at

 

if you have the light set to 10°, and the 10° mark is lined up when setting timing... you are at 20°

 

How am I not pinging... It runs just fine

 

Is it possible that the guy before when he rebuilt the motor the he stabed the dizzy were 10 is 0.,, I don't know if that I'd possible... Maybe that's why it's marked there

 

you cant stab the distributor at 10°. But do yourself a favor, grab a timing light, a 1/2" box end wrench, and go look at my how to: properly stab a distributor.

pull it out and reset it. then leave the light set to ZERO, and set the timing you want on the balancer, by lining up the actual value with the TIME mark on the pointer.

 

if the car is fine and doesn't ping why couldn't i just leave it
