It is set at 0. I will run the compression test

Thats OK for Dragstrip. but I'm at 40º initial!!! With the distributor used it reads 60º total all in at 2800rpm!!!

Brian6pac: I will perform this test soon and report back. by the way I already used two different strobe lights with the same result on both. One dialback Innova and one old without any adjustment and just reading my timing tape. Both same #. When you say you ran your 340 at 40º at the...

I do not want my engine to eat parts!!!! with 16 miles I have to take the entirely top end!!! S now I'm gona triple check everything!!! So please point in the right direction.

I got mixed up with all the srping part numbers ..... Still I need to go back and check the installed height on my actual springs to make my final choice. Thanks for your help Locomotion!!!!
