my book says TDC for a stock motor with points. is that correct? motor feels fine at TDC but i might squeeze a couple more degrees out of it once i get a tune up. needs a flamethrower coil and pertronix conversion though. ahhh if only i had the cash :ball:
Do I really have to say it?:laugh: Set the total advance, who cares about the initial. Stock specs only apply if you are sure the ENTIRE motor and dizzy is stock. How likely is that?
Running 0* of initial or anything around that is STUPID IMO. Your car will idle much better if you can limit your advance to around 16* and use 18* initial advance and 34* total advance.
well its a "new" motor and i havent had the time to play with it. i usually crank the timing up accordingly until i get the best the motor can handle. my 455 loves about 15 degrees of initial
