Cam/vacuum

Ok, it’s in my 440 and I’m getting close to 9”@700rpm in park. Unfortunately the car isn’t drivable at this point so in park is the only running info I have. It seems to run and sound good(IMO) as for initial advance pardon my ignorance but I’m not exactly sure as to what your referring to. Base timing?

I’m running FiTech fuel injection and it is controlling the timing. Using a locked out MSD distributor. Base timing of 10* btdc and full advance of 36* @2500rpm. And thanks for the replies, I’m always looking to further my understanding.

Experiment with your base timing. Since you have the FiTech all you need to do is type it into the hand held. Raise your base timing to 15 degrees and see what happens. Raise it to 20 degrees and see what happens. Raise it to 25 degrees and see what happens. Drive the car, see what happens. Pay attention to your vacuum gauge and re-adjust the idle setting as needed.
