Cam is a Raby 9530
Engine is a 2056 Deckheight is .040 Dizzy is a mallory, and I am using a bosch blue coil. induction is through dual IDF44 At what engine RPM should I set my timing, and how much advance do I want to use? I know I don't want to do it at idle, but I don't know at what RPM I should target. Thanks! Zach |

You want full advance Zack. I do it at about 3500 RPM and 32* just to be sure.

For years the standard with a Mallory w/ gray/gray springs has been 12* @ idle and 28*@ 3K. Jake will probably chime in with different numbers now that I've posted those. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Zach, 3k rpms at 28 degrees is safe...any more and you may end to advanced.
You dont want to have detonation. At 3k-3500 the distributor (any distributor) is at full advance. This is the best place to know for sure what the timing will be at full advance. Rich |
