[Chevelle-list] Timing...

[Devin]

John-  Depending on how big you’ve gone on your cam it can help
considerably.  Advancing your initial timing will also create more vacuum
and make your carb more responsive.  Time it by ear and see if it doesn’t
end up a few degrees more than stock.  I wouldn’t be surprised to see 12-14
degrees initial.  My race BB likes 18-20, but I wouldn’t suggest that for a
starting point.  When it is right your idle will smooth out somewhat due to
increased vacuum, and it won’t diesel when turned off.  It should also
restart immediately without having to provide any fuel from the gas pedal.
Hope this helps.
