Chevy 350 timing degrees?
It is best to start at 8 degrees at 600 rpm for auto and 6 degrees at 800 rpm for manual. The total timing should be around 33 degrees.
Is timing your Chevy 350 to 14 degrees odd it has a cam and such and runs best around there?
You need to find someone that has an advance timing light. With it they can set the total advance at 35 degrees at 2,000 RPM. That will be your best performance setting.
Explain how determine timing of activities and of total float?
how you determined the timing of activities and the total float?
What are the timing specs for a 1981 Corvette?
Generally 4 degrees before top dead center with the vacuum advance disconnected.If you have access to an advanced timing light then 35 degrees total is ideal. All manuals refer you to the sticker on the radiator cowl......There it states that the base timing is 6 DEGREES BEFORE TOP DEAD CENTER (DR).
How do you sit the timing on a big block Chevy?
Use inductive timing light. Clip timing light leads on batt & no. 1 wire. Keep wires out of the way of fan, etc. Let car idle. Point light at balancer & pull trigger. It will flash when no 1 fires. See where the line on the balancer is in relation to pointer on timing cover. This will tell you where timing presently is. It should be a few degrees advanced. IF you need to change- Loosen clamp distributor just enough to allow it to turn. (no more or it will hop & may have to reinstall-when running, cam gear pushes them up) Keep wrench handy. Use the light again & turn dis. slowly while running& you will see timing move as well. When it is where you want, tighten clamp. You need to check initial-at idle Total-with vac advance opening plugged at around 3k rpm (when it's all "in") Total with vac advance operational. This way you can check total advance including mech & vac & see if both working. You should check recommended initial & total for your engine. They tend to like a lot of initial, but that effects your total & you don't want total to go too far beyond 40 degrees or you get nasty preignition.

What is the proper spark plug gap for a 71 Chevy Chevelle 350?
Spark plug gap is .035, point gap is .017 to .019 or 30 degrees dwell. Timing with the vacuum advance disconnected and plugged is 4 degrees. If you have a timing light with a dial for total advance then it is 35 degrees at 2,000 RPM.
What is the total timing on a 400 ci Chevy small block?
Stock, around 28, but stock, you should be using initial. High performance, as much as possible. If you put a curve kit in, and an adjustable vaccuum advance, you should be able to get 32, to 34, on pump gas, depending on your altitude, compression ratio, and outside temp. To get an accurate total, you really have to install timing tape on the balancer. Just keep advancing until it pings. That is called power timing it. No light required, with enough experience.
What do you set the timing 377 race engine?
This is something you are going to have to feel your way through. Whatever works best. I would start at about 8 degrees advanced initial. The motor will ping heavily if you adv ance it too far, but, I have gone as high as 14 advanced, initial, or 36, total. (With a trick distributor. No stock dist., will give you 22 degrees of advance.) The cam, compression, altitude, outside temperature, fuel mixture, and fuel quality dictate timing. The more advanced the better, for performance. If you just want to set it, and forget it, then 8 degrees, will work just fine.
