Anyone know what the best ignition timing setting is for best power output without pinging?
There is no "set’ perfect timing for power. it all matters in what mods you have done to your car. The stock timing is ±16 BTDC. Most people will set their actual timing to this. and then take it to a tuner and have them adjust the adjustable cam gears in very small increments for this. But I guess if you want to mess with it yourself. You can pretty much get ±2 out of moving the distributor. but its really not gunna do anything but make your car run worse either on the top end or bottom end.
You can run safely at 18 but you’ll have a black rear bumper after a couple weeks.
Lol I wash her like every week
Which was is retarded when moving the distributor? Towards firewall or front of car?
To retard the ignition timing, rotate the distributor clockwise, (towards the headlights.) To advance the ignition timing, rotate the distributor counter-clockwise. (Towards the firewall.)
