I should have clarified that the timing marks (not the actual timing) seem=20
to be off=2E I don't know what the true timing advance is but probably it=
's=20
close to 12 degrees=2E After setting the timing to where the car ran best,=20=
I=20
rechecked my static timing light: it light up way before the timing mark on=
=20
the pulley even got to the 15 degree advance notch=2E

As a purist, I always go with 12 btdc=2E But I'll have to try this out=2E W=
