Why so much inital timing???

Too much chaff on this one so maybe I missed it but - OP - What was the intake closing point again? What pistons were used? What carburetor's on it?

I was wondering someone else was gonna notice this. Even at the number the one clown is giving , its under 8.1 dynamic... and the ve is probably as weak. That doesn't mean it won't run good, but these guys are torn up over opinion.
