turbotime

Hey I just installed a new dizzy and want to make sure i got the ignition timing on.. I am boosted and tuned on hondata, which ignition timing mark should i aim for? Im not sure which timing corresponds with which mark so if you could just tell me if its the left center or right looking at the crank from the driver side.

thanks!

The single mark on the right is TDC on my B-series motors.

For B series the single line by itself is TDC, the three lines together are:

18* BTDC (furthest from TDC line)
16* BTDC (middle line)
14* BTDC (closest to TDC line)

^ right, so should i set it to 16BTDC? isnt that the normal ignition timing>?

Yes that's what you want to set it to. If you look at your stock timing numbers in hondata you'll see it's 16.5* BTDC. So you want both the dizzy and Hondata bas timing to be in sync before you start adjusting timing through Hondata. Once you set your base timing at the dizzy to 16* you dont touch it after that. You just adjust timing with Hondata.
