Does your timing light have a numbered dial on the back of it? If so these numbers are different timing marks. With the spout connected you can set the timing at like 28 degrees using this dial, just set the dial to 28 and line up 0 on the ballancer with the pointer.
i got it set. i had it pretty close when i timed it by ear b4.
i set it at 13deg base. i will start experimenting some with more timing later on.
when i had it timed b4, it was close but a little higher, around 15 i think, i am running 87 and didnt hear any pinging. how far can u take the timing b4 it starts hurting you...
Just set the base where you want it and let the eec add timing. No worries. If you never had timing set right in past you prolly still had more et on the table. Now go to the track and run it again.
