Just set/confirmed my 2.0 timing.
Vac hose from distributer removed and plugged/2800rpm/28 degrees. It runs good, how do you how/how can you tell when it's "right" or optimal? That magic balance between power and efficiency..... |

Without a dyno or a lot of instrumentation it really is best guess.
On a stock setup - set it at 28* and walk away. On anything else... Trial and error. Back ages ago when I still had carbs, I tried advancing as high as 32 degrees - which idle LOVED but it pinged under load. Immediately backed it down to about 30 and the engine seemed to like that, but ran hotter then I liked. I eventually settled on about 29* for a season before pulling the carbs and starting the EFI journey. Zach |
