Why are 914-6 folks cutting holes in firewalls to check timing?
I believe your question is: Will I change my timing with different compenents?
Yes and no. It all depends on how you run your car and the overall set up. I usually set timing by full advance. So say 30 degrees at 6k rpms. Does that mean your static or idle timing will be different? Probably if the dizzy is not stock. But set at a full advance, not at an idle.
i also use the "ear" method. Sometimes you can set an engine up nicely, but get it on the road with cheap 87 octane gas and hear it ping. I am cheap so I run 87 in all my cars. Hench the timing is backed off a little.
