Timing, Mods, & Year

RE: Timing, Mods, & Year
heh, you guys are going two different ways with this...
My engine does have around 120k miles on it, so there prolly is some buildup
I'll just bring timing up to 12 and leave it at that, seems safe enough.
And I'll continue to use 93 Octane, Sound good?

Use what you wish, but I can assure you its best to use the lowest octane rating needed to prevent pinging. If you want to know why, just let me know. I'd be glad to type up an essay on it if your still unsure. By no means do I expect anyone to blindly take my word for it, but if your unsure then do some independant research and decide for yourself whats best.

Kinda...
I got a timing light with a dial on the back of it
So you want me to Have someone sit in the car, rev it to 3,000 and hold it there.
While I try and set the distributor so its at 38º when its being revved?
