I've checked and locked in the base timing at 12 degrees via the "set base timing" workflow through the app. Timing light on wire #1 shows it right at 12, though the markings are a little hard to see. Worse case scenario I might be a degree or two off in one direction or the other, but that'd...

Correct. It's a single slope interface. Sounds like I should use the more conservative slope?

Current thermostat is 185, keeps operating temp pretty steady on a hot day between 195-205, depending on if I'm in stop/go traffic or on the highway. For the timing curve, the EFI system has the following parameters to set: Idle timing - Sounds like I should set this to 15-16 degrees (aka...

Was not hard to start while hot. With the EFI system, start up is pretty consistent.

With the backfiring issues I was having, I started to bring total timing down and could only get rid of it by getting down to 20 degrees total with no vacuum advance. I went all in much earlier after seeing some charts where the 360s were all outta torque by 2200rpms. When I was dealing with...

The EFI conversion included a new Edelbrock intake manifold that’s non-EGR. I’ve read this might impact expected timing?

I pulled all the smog stuff off when I did the EFI conversion

Thanks man!

Anyone know a clever way to confirm I’m at 12 degrees BTDC on the compression stroke of cylinder #1 without taking the valve cover off? Last time I hand cranked the engine with a finger over the spark plug hole until I felt pressure, dialed it to 12/before on the markings on my balancer, and...

Awesome. I’m gonna run with Occam’s Razor here and say that I bet my distro phasing is off because I probably misaligned it a bit when I installed it. I know with the slot that you can only be in or 180 out, but with this EFI kit I was supposed to be at 12 degrees BTDC on compression stroke of...

With Edelbrock’s EFI setup, initial timing, total timing, all in rpm settings, and vacuum advance are electronic and adjustable via a tablet. Not nearly as cool as swapping out springs, but it’s been handy as hell as I’ve been learning the concepts and working to get this first project dialed in.

Awesome, will give this a shot. Currently have vacuum advanced set to zero. Played around with 0-5 degrees of vac advance, but pulling it back to zero helped with backfiring. For some reason, anytime my timing started getting into high 20’s, I was getting backfiring.

So, I’m completely aware of the name of this forum, but...RV forums are a terrible place for engine advice and after a ton of research it’s clear you guys here know more about 360’s than damn near anyone else online. I figured, what the hell, I’ll give it a shot. I’ve got a 1978 Dodge RV (B300...
