0 degrees on a 22r with the vac advance lines disconnected. 5 BTDC with the jumper in on an re. Some people are running 10 or 12 on the re. My rebuilt don't like anything more than 3 degrees advanced. But I have other "issues" that may or may not affect that.

 

Do I make any changes to the degree of timing for elevation? Or should it be left right at 0?

 

He said that hes got it set on 6 or 7

 

Factory service manual says 0 degrees, makes no reference to elevation. Unless the engine had the HAC system in which it takes care of itself and it would still be 0 degree. 6 or 7 degrees is way too much for the carb'd motor.

 

Well we shall set it at 0 and see if that helps.

 

remember that's with the vac lines to the dizzy disconnected,

 

Right, we always disconnect them when we time it. Thanks for the help, will let you know what happens.
