Just wondering what timing you guys are running on the 3.0.? Just changed out engines and tranny and the other one ran good at 18 and have not played with this one yet to Dang cold.

 

I never tried that much advance, 12 was as far as I went. I tried 10 for awhile, but 12 worked better for mine. I don't recall the fsm specs offhand, but 18 seems a bit far. Did you jumper the te1 to e1(not entirely sure this is correct, but the exact terminals are listed somewhere on here)? If not, the computer advances the spark some more, even at idle.

 

Factory is 10, but it runs clean and mean at 12
