OK Y guys, truck is running good but I think it can run even better.

Idle timing is set at 9 BTDC. I had retarded this from 19 when I had dual quads.

How would I check total timing and what would be a ball park number since all engines are a little different? Sounds like something you adjust and drive until you find the right sweet spot. I have been running 87 OCT. Manual calls for 4 BTDC for idle timing or base timing.

Thanks for your help,
