I want to know
what is the ignition timing for a 1988 Chevy 454 engine
advance your timing 6 degrees due to this ethanol crap fuel we run now
It requires an ENGINE SCANNER to set the ignition timing on that year of engine.
how do you adjust the timing on a 1977 350 Chevy engine k-10
That requires an engine scanner to set the timing.
The base ignition timing for a 1974 Chevy 454 engine is between 8 and 12 degrees below top dead center. A timing light is needed to accurate set ignition timing.
8* BTDC
Because the engine computer takes over from there and sets it to as close to ideal as possible.Remember to use the special procedure to set it!
The problem will turn out to be either fuel delivery, ignition (spark) or compression. If all three exist in the proper amounts/timing... the engine HAS to run.
The timing on that year engine is computer controlled. It requires an engine scanner to set the timing. YOU CAN NOT USE A TIMING LIGHT.
A 1976 Chevy did not have a points ignition, but that has nothing to do with the correct timing. You will find that the engine runs best with about 8-12 degrees BTDC.
Chevy S10 in 2001 didn't have a 2.0L engine. They had a 2.2L engine and it has a (DIS) distributorless ignition system. There is no timing to set.
