What should the ignition timing be set at on a natural gas engine?
10 btdc
What is ignition timing?
ignition timing is the time when your spark plugs fires the gas in the engine cylenders usually tdc or top dead center on the #1 cylender
Where is the Ignition Timing Terminal on a 1991 Dodge Colt Vista?
you can't use a timing light. you have to loosen both bolts on distributer and adjust by ear. engine will start easy when in time and shouldn't spark knock. I use premium gas for best power and gas mileage.
What is the ignition timing setting for a 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 5.9L 360ci gas engine?
There isn't one Timing is Controlled by the PCM. Turning the distributor only adjust fuel sync so don't do it. Unless you have a pricey scanner it will be hard to get it back in Sync
How much horse power can you gain by removing your catalytic converter On your 1999 dodge 1500 with a 360 gas engine?
None. It may actually cause a reduction in power. The engine computer will adjust the fuel and ignition timing to try to make the oxygen sensors read correctly which is impossible with a missing cat.Plus it is highly illegal and the check engine light will be on.None.

Can you use 91 octane gas on a 93 octane gas car?
New cars with knock sensors to adjust ignition timing can run on lower-octane fuel, but you lose power.
Why does the engine on your 1988 Jeep Grand Wagoneer backfire?
Ignition timing is the primary reason. After you reset the timing. check to be sure the ignition components are working. Also check the carb. is it clean and adjusted properly? do you smell gas. Is it flooding?
What 5 things must a gas engine have to run?
fuel, ignition, lubrication, combustion, intake, exhaust.
What is the ignition timing setting for a Dodge 360 gas engine?
5 degrees BTDC. remember to set the idle to 800rpm for automatic transmission and plug the vacuum advance ose before setting the timing.
What is the ignition timing for a 1969 Chevy 396 big block?
1 8 4 3 6 5 7 2 An oldie, but a goodie- have fun. The ignition timing is 4 degrees before top dead center. Adjust the point dwell to 30 degrees and the adjust the idle speed. then disconnect the vacuum to the vacuum advance and set the timing. Reconnect the vacuum and fine tune the carburator. With an upgrade to electronic ignition and with running todays gas (low octane) a bump up in timing would be recomended. Try running about 6 degrees after and see how it does would not go above 12 after.
How you convert premium gas engine to regular gas?
Reducing an engines need for higher octane fuel requires lowering the static compression ratio of the engine(changing heads and/or pistons) and retarding the ignition somewhat. Cars with a static compression ratio of 9:1 or less can run on "regular" with just dialing back the ignition timing and not pushing the engine hard. Reducing compression ratios or retarding timing will cost you power however, and may cause your engine to run less efficiently(higher emissions). on modern computer controlled cars, changing the ignition timing is far more difficult than on a vehicle with a standard distributor.
Your car turns off when you press the gas?
Your ignition timing is WAY off.
