What if the timing belt fails on a 99 escort?
Very simply put, the engine will not run. The belt drives the camshaft off the crankshaft and maintains the corrrect "timing". If it "fails" (breaks, or the teeth on the belt strip off) the camshaft will not turn and the engine stops running. In some cases a "failed" belt can cause internal engine damage as well, so it is best to replace timing belts when they become suspect to failure or at regular intervals (usually between 50 to 75 thousand miles).

What should the timing be set to for a Chevy 350 with Edelbrock Torker plus camshaft?
On most stock SB 350s the timing should be fine at 6-8 degree's Before Top Dead Center AKA BTDC. However if the cam is not stock you may want to contact the cam's manufacturer for the best timing suitable for your cam. I personally set the timing until I obtain the best performance I want to achieve. , EzForJesus If you are looking for the best performance possible, get a timing light that will check your timing at full advance. Start off at about 40 degrees total timing (engine running above 2800 rpm) and vary it up or down a few degrees until peak performance is found. Best accomplished at a drag strip on test'n'tune night.
