TIMING

[1966 roadster]

So i finally put a timing light on my 170cid 66 roadster. It was at TDC still just idling in the garage.

I played with it for a bit advancing it from TDC all the way up to 13 degrees it seamed as if it ran "or idled " best at 6 degrees.

That's right at where it should be.

Mine ran there with the stock dizzy.

Does the carb still have "gremlins"..?

i have copied a page from my ford shop manual for you. it says that 6 degrees is correct but....see notes 1 and 2. hope this helps
