![]() What else do you need anyway? Are you trying to win some "number" contest of some kind, or are you trying to make your motor RUN GOOD? The main thing is to keep the main thing, the main thing. "Run" and "number" are 2 very different things. I don't think "number" enters into any of that. Īnd by logical extension, if it DOESN'T run good, then it ISN'T good, and needs work. No matter how weird or outlandish the "number" is, never forget. If you REALLY are wanting to make some kind of use of it though, you can tweeeeek the dist body a bit here and there until it runs JUST AS ABSOLUTELY GOOD as you can possibly get it to run by doing that, and THEN whup out your light, see what it says, and you can then put it back to whatever number it says whenever you feel the need, which should really only be, whenever you disturb it. You don't have to tell em you totally wasted your time bothering with putting it on there you can tell em all about how easy it was to install, how easy it is to see with your light, and all such as that THEY don't have to know what YOU now know, which is, that it's as useless as **** on a chicken. Meanwhile, when you're at the McDonalds parking lot this Friday night, you can pop your hood and show everybody your cool timing tape. The engine does why should you give a rat's gluteus maximus what they say? The engine obviously doesn't care why should you? its kinda hard to see the numbers but I marked 36 degrees with yellow paint which is kind of visible in the video if it helps. Here's a video showing what I'm seeing at idle. Looking more into the streetfire distributor it seems many people have issues with them but I don't want to jump the gun on blaming the distributor or its curve if it ends up that I'm just making a noob mistake. I watched tons of distributor install videos so I'm relatively confident I installed it correctly. I talked to the engine builder who built the engine and he said piston 1 TDC was set correctly and verified with a piston stop and he would come take a look at it (haven't heard from him since) I double checked and I am on the number 1 cylinder. I tried a dialback timing light that was supposed to work with the MSD box (it didn't) so I tried an old 80's sears/Penske Racing basic timing light that is giving me consistent data with the correct timing tape for my 8" balancer. If I try to bring the timing down to a reasonable number it starts running rough. If I rev it slightly it goes completely off the timing tape. ![]() ![]() I have a brand new MSD Streetfire HEI along with an MSD-6AL box, The car runs somewhat ok and is relatively responsive when I move the throttle but the timing light is jumping around 40 degrees at idle. I fired it over for the first time a couple weeks ago and have been having some issues setting the timing, this is my first time ever setting timing but I've done tons of reading and still can't figure out where I'm messing up. Hey guys, I had a 383 stroker built, its an 元1 hydraulic roller with a comps cam xe282hr.
