Hoo I set the correct timing on a 1993 mazda protege
A sloppy worn timing chain.
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.
The correct timing for a Mercruiser 3.0L 140 engine is 6 degrees BTDC. for a Mercruiser 120 the correct timing is 8 degree BTDC.
12 or 13 degrees
The timing for this engine is electronically controlled and not adjustable
depends on if your taking about cam timing or ignition timing and what engine.gm Jim
