Thanks all. I took the distributor out and marked it. It runs good but just want to check it to make sure.
I was reading the thread on the link you posted, guy got it all fixed and said “I can burn my rubbers again”
Timing is set at about 14 now. Anyone know where it should be set without unplugging the wire? It runs good at 14.
The vortec stuff didn't come out until a few years later. Thats a normal run of the mill SBC. Base timing will be 0° with the tan wire unplugged. Setting the timing with the wire plugged in is just a guess at best
