73 Imperial Timing

[Chris RB]

Does anyone know the correct timing & idle speed for a 73 Imperial?

Any pictures of the manual etc... Mine is still in the mail.

Cheers!

10°BTC +/- 2.5° but I found mine likes 15°

Mine likes 20. I can set you up with timing and recurve your distributor if need be.
Makes a big difference in idle and seat of the pants power.

Service Manuals – MyMopar doesn't have the '73 Chrysler/Imperial manual, but it does have '73 Dodge manuals.

While there's a bunch of differences, somethings are going to be the same, like timing and idle specs for a 440. It can help until you get yours.

It seems like there ought to be a sticker under the hood like this:

As GregG48203 mentioned, there should be a sticker on the radiator support.
