For a 1979 RV with a 440 engine, you typically set the timing mark at 5 to 7 degrees BTDC (Before Top Dead Center). It's important to refer to the specific service manual for your vehicle, as timing settings can vary based on engine condition and any modifications. Make sure to adjust the timing while the engine is running at idle for the most accurate results.
The 12 degrees BTDC (Before Top Dead Center) mark for a Dodge 440 engine is typically found on the harmonic balancer or the timing tab attached to the engine block. To locate it, you can look for the timing marks on the balancer, which are usually a series of notches or lines. The 12 degrees BTDC mark will be indicated, often with a reference line or number. Ensure the engine is set to the appropriate RPM and is at the correct position for timing adjustments.
any 440 takes premium gas.

no it wont there is a little difference in size
440 + 440 + 440 + 440 + 440 + 440 = 2,640
The timing for a 440 cubic inch engine with a six-pack carburetor setup can vary based on specific engine modifications and tuning, but generally, a well-tuned 440 six-pack can achieve a quarter-mile time in the low to mid-13-second range. This performance is influenced by factors such as weight, gearing, and driver skill. Proper tuning and setup are critical to maximizing performance.
Most of these older Mopars like to run at 10 BTDC. Unplug the vaccum line to the distributor, mark the harmonic balancer with a little white paint on the 10 BTDC mark and hook up your light; loosen the distributor, move the distributor a little at a time. I hope this helps a little.
