Timing Curve
As I begin my journey down the tuning path, I find my distributor isn't advancing as it should. No big deal, my money pit has gotten lonely so I throw a few more bucks into it.
The question now is what is the preferred curve for a set of webers. I know that 38degrees on an FE is where the thing wants to be, but at what speed? When do I need it all to come in. Any tips on length of advance? I was thinking 24 so I could set the base at 14 to make it easier to start and then top off at 38.
My idle speed is around 850 so when to I want the advance to begin and how much when? - the curve isn't a straight line. Mallory has all kinds of settings, probably 20 more than what I need.
Any suggestions on where to start?
