Hot Tip for setting ignition timing

Jeff Stout · 09-28-2020, 10:05 AM

When using a stock balancer and you have 2 marks on it, one for top dead center and 1 for your desired total timing. Always know which one is which. My pathetic performance yesterday at Az S/SS event was due to setting timing at top dead center mark. I wondered why car started up so easy and I had to reset idle. Another lesson learned on how to slow a car down and lose a race. I think the heat got to me.
