[Chevelle-list] Timing?

[Pelle Chevelle]

Guess I was right from the beginning then :-/

Or have I misunderstood the guide?

Never heard of that guide, and never heard of setting timing in drive. When
you set initial timing with the distributor hooked up, it won't make any
difference what gear the transmission is in. It is a simple relationship of
the firing mark for the #1 cylinder to top dead center of #1 cylinder.
Engine load or even speed (not taking into account for distributor advance
weights) will not change that relationship.

 Does the guide give any reason why it needs to be in drive? What do they
suggest for a manual car?

You should set initial timing with the car at operating temperature and in
park. Make sure you disconnect the distributor and plug the vacuum port on
the carb.
