250 Inline 6 Question
Hey guys, got a motor question about timing a 250 straight 6. I have a 1968 Chevy truck that had a early 250 straight 6 in it, but a 1977 250 straight 6 was dropped in a day before I bought it since the other motor went belly up. I drove it home and it ran like crap, so I did a little looking around. The distributor was bolted down enought to keep it in place but it was sliding all around when I was on the road. I am freshening things up and figured that timing it would be in my best interests. Here is my dilemma. Apparently in 1977 there were two applications of the 250, heavy and light duty. I would imagine that the heavy means truck, and the light means car....The heavy needs to be set at 12 degrees before TDC, and the light at 6 degrees before TDC. I have no idea what this motor came out of, what can I do to find out? Thanks,
Josh
