Plan on replacing my distributor today and want to make sure I have the proper parameters to set the timing.. '67 300 440...
Disconnect vacuum hose and plug....
1. Initial timing at 750 rpm idle = 11*
2. FSM timing at 2400rpm = 16*
I searched a post where the timing at 3500rpm should be 36*...where does this come from?
Once this is set, I reconnect the vacuum hose and check total timing again. If its above X @ 3500rpm then I should adjust the diaphragm allen screw to match the proper total timing at 3500....
Is this basically correct? If not please advise. I hope to start work on the car in a few hours. Trying to get all my ducks in a row and only one trip to the parts store....like that ever happens to me.
