Re: 73 350 cid engine timing
What other mods you got?
Might need to bump it a bunch more than 8 degrees! |

Re: 73 350 cid engine timing
Set timing at 12-14 degrees. Hook your vac advance to manifold port on the carb.

Re: 73 350 cid engine timing
I am more or less going to try and time it and just see what the sweet spot is, its not like its already out of time but I kinda just want to mess around with it, and I think the vac advance is already in the carb port but not sure

Re: 73 350 cid engine timing
Do you know the procedure for setting the timing?
Your carb has more than one port. Ported and manifold vacuum ports. |

Re: 73 350 cid engine timing
Only way to find the "sweet spot" is with a timing light.
