Re: timing question
That big 'A' on the tab means Advanced. Or in other words before top dead centre. AKA BTDC.
Stock might be 6 degrees but with the crap fuel we have now you need to set it at 12 or higher. What other mods to your motor do you have? |

Re: timing question
Set it at 12 to 14.
Remember to plug the vac line to the vac advance on the dizzy when you set it. |
