@howtofixmysilverado6791
@howtofixmysilverado6791 6 жыл бұрын
That is probably why he is telling you to set the initial timing at 12 BTDC. Some Ig. set ups use a magneto style pickup inside the dist. chevy refers to that as being called an ignition module being used in place of a mechanical advance Sic Big block chevy on my 93 Silverado. The computer does the advance curve from the initial setting so there is no mechanical vacuum advance. Even the old style Big Blocks the initial setting would be about 6BTDC with the advance connected and I do not approve of that method for 2 reasons with a mechanical advance. Under load Sic> a steep hill the engine maintains a different curve. Disconnecting the advance sort of simulates that curve but you can't simulate a load and steep hill and that is one of thee main reasons the pulling camshafts were invented. Always use 12 to 16 BTDC for your initial settings and go from there. Too much advance can create intense internal heat so it's better to start in the basement and work your way up. The last more important reason has to do with tire size can affect the timing position. Believe that or not turning a large or smaller rear or heavy mud tires requires some extra retarding of the initial ig setting. Also firing too far before that top peak pressure can also cause extreme heat and especially on a TBI motor it will feed the engine way too much fuel and that is what causes that extreme heat. The reason most people with RVs have so many issues with the BB Chevy engines in motor homes. Those engines are already facing extreme heat inside and under that huge body of a motor home. Then plugs matter most Auto Light & GM AC Delco plugs you get from places like Advanced and Auto Zone their catalogs were affected by the collapsed economy and many of the proper heat range plugs are just not in their inventories especially for Motor Homes and 4x4 off roaders. Plain and simple it is goddamned hard to get the right plugs to use anymore. Even the dealer catalogs only go back 10 or so years and then the history is lost... You end up at the shops of specialists like me and I struggle to get the right shit to tune an engine.

Glad I just happen to stumble on to this video. I just started a new project and I don’t have any history on the engine. I suspect it has a aftermarket cam just based on the idle but stupid me I took the distributor out without noting the timing. I did mark in general the location of the distributor but I don’t know if I can set the timing correctly. After watching this clip I’m confident that I can get it close enough. If anyones has any tips for me I’d very much appreciate it. It’s a chevy 5.0l 305.

I have been setting my dist in at 0 tdc,I would imagine this will be a game changer for more power on my 383 stroker.If I understand this correctly please let me know. thank you
