What plugs are you running?...What gas, 91?

I'd start with 6* and advance or retard from there, depending on detonation....

I ran my car with 125 shot with 8-9 degrees of timing. I also mixed 100 octane with 91 when i used nitrous. Never had a problem.

im useing autolite 22's with 91 octane so should i put my timing between 6* - 9* [Confused] thanks

general rule is 1 degree retard for every 50 hp

would my car run fine with timing at 7*

what is total timing

remember everyone this is a carbed motor not a 5.0, set a 5.0 at 10* base is about 30* total, or somewhere about there

u should be able to run a lot more than 10* total timing

what distibutor are u running
 
Posted by BOTTLED.LX (Member # 3267) on :
 
its a stock distibutor and yeah its carb'd
 
Posted by mustanggt5091 (Member # 444) on :
 
the stock eec-iv computer adds 16 degrees at idle making it 26* if base is 10*

who cares wat it makes at idle was does the computer at at say, 3500-4000rpm, around peak torque

I actually think your supposed to pull 2 degress for every 50hp, to be on the safe side. I would try 6 degrees and work from there.
