I've heard from a long time mechanic that at the altitude I live at, almost 7500 feet, that one should run 4 degrees advance. Seems to work really well.
According to my Chilton's book on 1979 360 engines, Dodge, the timing is 4 degrees BTDC.
one is on the cam gear and the other is on the crank timing belt gear. spark timing is on the crank to the rear of the engine
A 1979 Chevrolet pickup does not have a timing belt, it has a timing chain. The chain will last the life of the engine and is normally replaced during an engine overhaul.
The power of the engine and the maximum speed of the 1979 Dodge Mirada are 90 bhp and 85 miles per hour respectively.
yes it is different than a 351 windsor but there are two different ones that it could be: 15426378 or 15263748
112 PS / 110 bhp / 82 kW is the power of the dodge diplomat automatic 1979 engine and its maximum speed is 3600 rpm.
12 degrees - Manual Transmission
If you look stright down between the water pump and engine block you will see the timing mark.
The firing order for a 1979 Dodge 361 engine is 1, 8, 4, 3, 6, 5, 7, 2. Odd number cylinders are to the left and the even ones are to the right as you face the car.
It is 6 degrees before top dead center.
any 440 takes premium gas.
some one put the wrong balancer on the crank. or put it on inside out...
the gap is .060 thou of inch.
