Engine timing 2.0L, Calling all engine tuners Options

[R Dub]

I need to know what the correct timing for a 2.0L (built to 2056) with and electronic ignition, no vacuum advance running dual carbs.

I set the timing to 27 degrees BTDC per the manual but it doesn't run right, it seems much happier with some timing taken out. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I'm inclined to agree with Mark Henry - something else going on.

Timing should be set at 3000 rpm minimum, 3500 with some distributors.

Having personally had problems with 009 dizzy's, I'm suspect of your distributor...but then, I'm biased.......

What is your timing at at idle? Should be 0 deg. minimum, 7 1/2 deg. max., and steady.

Starting at idle, watch your timing light - as you up your RPM to 3,000, does the timing advance steadily? or does it jump?

I'll ask my dad what the timing is set at idle as he was watching the timing light as I was bringing the car up in RPM. He did say the timing advances steadily, not jumping. Just that it doesn't like 27 degrees at 3500 but likes it a lot at 1000-1500 RPM
