Unusual Hemi Timing Setting....

For early, 1st gen, Hemis, initial timing @ 20 degrees BTDC, 30 degrees BTDC total. Can run a full point higher than wedge heads. Per Bob Walker @ Hot Heads Research. I have yet to verify on my own. Pistons spec'd to 10:1 on both my Desoto Hemis. Maybe this year... Not sure on 2nd gen, but assume close to the same.
