Well ... I was 50 50 about if I should have put it kinda like Mr. JT did above
but
I did want to at least get the idea across that ............
There is WAY more goin on that just setting a spark value at the hb
As in 99.999999 % of the time ........ I'll throw in with what JT says
If you set your dizzy with the spout out Trav ......
It will be the same value later on when you check it ... spout out that is
The down side to upping the spark value at the dizzy is .........
Its an all or nothin kinda thing ... or ... a global thing if you prefer
Where you can or might get in trouble with higher dizzy values is
at a driving condition of mid load and rpm where the
spark values are quite high.
You can see values of 40 degrees and more during these conditions
soooooooo
If you set your dizzy at say 16 ............
You gotta add 6 degrees to ALL conditions possible for the true value
Can You See Why Now ... When we talked above about the tendency
of the GT Stangs to be so prone to the ping thing.
The quality (octane that is) of gas has gone down and down since our cars
have been made which doesn't help with this issue as well.
anyway ...........
Like JT said
Bumping up the value with the Ole Dizzy
It can yield a bit more git up and go
You just gotta consider this ..........
Some of the time ... You may not be able to go all that much above 10
and
Some Stangs will be more tolerant about that than others
