Hey Guys,
Question for anyone. I have a MSD 85551 dist with a 6al and msd coil. My car is as follows:
68 Cam
3.55 gears
turbo 350
357 chevy w/
10.2-1 comp
comp cams 280hr
victor jr intake
holley 750 vac secondary
1 5/8 headers
1.5 ratio rocker arms
trick flow heads with 202 and 160 valves.
160* therm
pretty sure my plugs are gapped at .045
Also to not i took out the dist over the weekend and noticed as many have said the dist was dirty inside. Needed to clean the green corrosion and junk. Hoping this helps perf too.
Couple things. I never cared or new about timing till i found out i may have hidden power. The springs that dictact the timing curnve are the msd factory set ones and are the strongest. Full advance doenst make its way it till 4800 or so. So given what my engine is and has what is a good initial timing? and what should total timing be? Also when should total advance be realized by...2500, 3000, ect? Also should i feel a noticable difference?
Thanks guys.
