Setting Timing

[74 Shortbed]

It could be either I've had them both ways, if you have the instructions it will tell, if not take the cap off and use a hand vacuum pump and see how much vacuum it takes to pull it open, that or just take it on the road and experiment, give it a turn one way and try it, if it rattles more then go the opposite way until the rattle goes away, if you run out of adjustment and it still rattles then you'll have to take a couple degrees or whatever it takes out of your total.

Strip tune.

Strip tune.

Alright I will try that. I got it down to 16* at idle so I think turning it ccw reduces vacuum. Should put me at 50 total now. I'll try it again tomorrow and see if it still rattles

 

[Honky Kong jr]

Or if it pings up the octane level

I think he's already running 91???..

 

[Wdschell]

Yep I am running 91

 

[Honky Kong jr]

Is this a daily driver?

 

[Wdschell]

I am attempting to make it my daily lol

 

[Honky Kong jr]

I am attempting to make it my daily lol

Ok then I will stop lol

 

[Wdschell]

Haha what were you going to say?

 

[Honky Kong jr]

Haha what were you going to say?

I lock my timing all in and run atleast 100 octane fuel lol but mine isn’t a daily driver it’s a toy

 

[Wdschell]

Ah, I see. Where do you get 100 octane?

 

[Honky Kong jr]

Ah, I see. Where do you get 100 octane?

That’s if I mix or just run 110 or 116 there is a shop local to me that sells VP racing fuel

 

[Wdschell]

Gotcha, well hopefully it doesn't come down to that. This timing business is serious stuff. Would msd do anything to help?
