When you do a timing check on your 1974 6 cylinder engine the timing mark jumps back and forth a couple of degrees you think it has timing gears instead of a chain you would like to find out why if it?

The make would help. Some used a timing chain and others used gear to gear. The distributor could be worn also.


What degree do you set the timing on a 1969 Chevy 350?

I would set it at 10 BTDC with the distributor vaccum unhooked while setting timing. 10 to 13 degrees is what the factory recomends.

What does the timing on a 454 mercruiser need to be set at?

I have seen specs as high as 13 degrees but that seems a bit high to me. I would settle for something around eight degrees. That way you will be reasonably safe no matter what the other conditions are. This would be setting at an idle around 650 rpm. Its a good idea to rev the engine with the timing light attached and observe maximum advance it will likely go as high as 34 degrees total from about 2600 rpm to about 3400 max. You should never exceed a total timing of more than 38 degrees.
