Can anyone tell me what the initial advance should be on a '71 360. All my manuals say look at the sticker on radiator, but since this engine is not native to my '76 Scamp, the "sticker" obviously is not there.

Thanx in advance,

Yeah, I'm using electronic, but I think I got a hold of a lean-burn distributor.
I just ordered a new one from Mancini that's been recurved and has the adjustable vacuum pot. I had this one set at 5 deg. btdc, but when I nailed it,the car would stumble until the centrifugal advance could catch up, then it would blast off. I'll start out with 6 degrees this time and go from there.

I'm from New Richmond, Ohio. I have a '76 Plymouth Scamp with a '71 360, '76 727, and a '70 8 3/4 Sure-Grip with 3.55 gears.


Thanx,

I set my initial timing @8-10 btdc on my 360 but I don't have a vac advance on my dist. (hi-po dual point)
