i was wondering how many degrees i could retard or advance my distributor, either way from the stock setting, so the middle i guess. someone told me it was 7 degrees either way, is this true or not.

 

On a stock car, you really shouldn't advance your timing more than 2 degress either way.

 

Every thing I have heard would agree with this. What is the purpose?

 

i am runing 12:5:1 compression and i have a timing retard just to be safe for when i run on pump gas, i need to know how many degrees the distributor can be adjusted so i can figure out where i should set my timing from inside the car.

 

come on guys, i know sombody knows for sure.

 

are you serious, 53 views and no one knows the answer to this question

 

I have heard that it was +5 or -5 that you have to work with at the distrubtor.

There has to be someone out there that know this.... is it +5 -5 or it is +7 -7.

Come on playa's Help this MO FO out ... !!!

 

come on people help me out

 

you should use a timing lights for accurate settings. try this http://www.c-speedracing.com you can learn how to use a timing light inside it. enjoy yourself

 

i don't think that a timing light is going to help, all i need to know is how many degrees i can advance or retard my distributor

 

I think I remember reading somewhere that you can adjust it + or - 7. But dont quote me on this.

 

i have also herd that you can ajust it + - 7 but i just need a for sure answer, thanks for the info
