10-12 degrees
Use the 0 degrees setting. The performer plus cam is intended to be installed straight up, neither advanced or retarded. Never use adv. or ret. timing settings on these gears they don't work you loose power no matter what you do.
you can get an edelbrock timing chain from summit racing for about 40 bucks
another thing, is i have the timing set at tdc, so it should start atleast on that part. I put in a edelbrock performer 351 intake on it with a holley 600 cfm 4 barrel carb with electric choke as opposed to the stock automatic with the hot air line from the exhaust manifold. I have all the vaccuum lines that the car has hooked up, but there is one other on the carb towards the bottom front right...any ideas? please help. thanks Your timing needs to be set about 10 BTDC. It will probably not start at TDC.
PROPER TIMIMNG SHOULD BE LISTED ON THE INTAKE MANIFOLD PROPER TIMIMNG SHOULD BE LISTED ON THE INTAKE MANIFOLD PROPER TIMIMNG SHOULD BE LISTED ON THE INTAKE MANIFOLD
Try 12 degrees initial and see if it pings. If not, try a little more.
With the mods you describe I would suggest you start at about 10 to 12 degrees btdc. you may have to play with it to get it just the way you like it. Hope this helps. Mike
map stands for manifold absolute pressure it records manifold pressure and adjusts fuel and timing acordingly. it should be located on the firewall. hope this helps.
32-34 degrees
The e36 M50 has a timing chain. The e30 has a belt. Black plastic intake manifold = Chain Metal intake manifold = Belt
your timing is way off or the timing advance is not working . or your timing chain is so loose it has slipped one tooth or it was put on out of time.
No absolutely not...
Advanced timing can cause that to happen
