Cope
Fusing with fire
Hi folks I got my new timing light and have some questions.
(Toolmanmike, Its bad ***. I will post in garrage tools also.)
I have a 1971 LA 318 in my dart with unknown miles (250,000 + - 150,000) All orignal internals..
Stealth + + with Holley 4150-4777, 650 DP
MSD 6AL, running off new points and condenser (MOPAR single points dizzy) Stock springs in dizzy.
Headman longtubes with 2 1/2" to the bumper (summit system)
My idle (initial) with Vacuum advance pluged is 32 BTDC at 1250 RPM and 42 BTDC @2,500 RPM.
Dwell 180deg. (Should I close the point gap??)
This sounds way wrong to me. Shouldn't I be looking at 16-32?
CARP..I should be checking timing in gear yeah?
Thanls again for all the time and advice.
