Ok, here's the scenario:
Just bought SPF 2932 (new) and the oil and water temps got real high today. Both close to 120 degrees celsius. Air temp is about 90 degrees oustside. Traffic was stop and go. Has run warm since new, but not this warm.
Assuming all other parts are correctly installed and the correct type, I went to check the timing. I have a 427 SRTW with the MSD mechanical advance distributor. I went to put the timing light on it and the light showed over 20degrees on the wheel at idle. But, there is a blue timing mark that someone has put on the wheel that is at about 2 degrees BTDC. So, how do I set the timing on this thing? The specs say 31-34 degrees at 4000 rpm. So, what do I set the idle timing at? Or should I run it up to 4000 and set the timing at 32 degrees? And what is the blue line for?
Someone tell me the proper way to time this thing. I have a feeling it is slightly on the too advanced side.
