RE: timing

Initial should be around 12, with the total coming in around 38 to 40.

RE: timing

Yeah, set it at 12-13 initial, then tweak it from there. Be sure you plug up your vacuum hose with a screw or something while settning the timing.

RE: timing

As much as possible until you get pinging under hard throttle with good traction, then back down a degree or 2.
Actually, this is true for all you all...
