Initial Timing for 416 Stroker startup

If you have to break the cam in just crank it up to where the starter will handle it. Maybe 25*. If you are cranking it and it doesn't fire right away, keep feeding it advance til it fires then set it around ~35* at 2500 ish rpm during break in .

Most important is to get it fired and up to RPM, then worry about timing numbers. You want to get it up on timing FAST so it isn't running retarded = hot exhaust tubes

Have the carb primed too, so you aren't cranking it over waiting on a mechanical pump to feed it. If a DP, fill that side too and press the pump arm to keep it running until a mechanical pump catches up. Electric pump this isn't an issue. Get them filled and set bowl levels.

Good luck.

Great advice there Rob

Northeastmopar you won't go wrong doing it the way he says
