Hi Red Six Gurus,
Ok so today I get my timing light out to check the timing on my 9 month 71 CK engine prefix 186 and to my complete surprise it looks to be about 30 deg advanced at idle with vac off.
My questions are:
1) Is the longer mark on the timing cover 5 deg BTDC or 0 deg BTDC
1) Given that the cam is stock Im thinking the static timing should be around 10 deg BTDC
2) Total should be around 38 deg at approx 2500-3000RPM
3) How do you wind these engines over by hand to check for TDC
Cheers Brian
