something bad wrong with my timing

you'll need at least 18-20* initial for that cam, then you wanna end up with 30-34* or more if the cylinder pressures are low for the cam.

you need to find out [by removing the dizy cap] if it has the mopar performance adjustable dizy in it, you'll see adjustment screws on an anodized plate.
If it does have the mopar unit, you can adjust it to only allow a certain amount of mechanical advance so that you can run a higher initial [like I mention above] without having too much total/mechanical advance.


no that distributors have weights inside the as rpm increases, advances the timing around 20-25* [typical factory dizy example]

so if the motor likes 22* at idle[initial timing] and then runs best with 30*total [example] you'll want to limit the weights travel to only allow 8* mechanical advance.

you'' have to weld up the slots in the weights to limit the advance if it not an adjustable unit.fyi
