I set the timing staticly by using the timing mark on the fan(it's red on mine) not the zero. alighned it with the notch in the fan housing and then turned the dist to alighn the rotor with the mark on the top of the dist. case.
Will this get me close? |

Set your timing at full advance above 3,500 RPM!
Static timing does not do any good unless your engine never comes into the advance curve, meaning you idle all the time. Two degrees of timing is goof for 50 degrees of head temp and/or 10HP in some cases. Set timing at full advance, or shitty MPG, and a melt down will occur imminently! |
