I bought a car with a MSD box and distributor. What should the timing be set at?
Thanks Dave |

Baseline for carbs on a 4 cylinder car is 12 BTDC at idle 28 BTDC at 3000 RPM. With a Mallory you would start with grey/grey springs to set the curve. Not sure what that would map to on an MSD, but shouldn't be that hard to figure out. Grab the Mallory spring guide off the inter-webs and figure out what's close in MSD land.
On the MSD box, set the rev limit pill at or below 6K RPM until you know what's in the motor. No need to prematurely ventilate the case. |
