Hey guys I have a question on the initial timing i should run on my fresh rebuild 327 needing a cam break in. I seen FSJunkie's post about the proper initial timing for a 327 being 8* BTDC but i think i saw in my Service Manual it being 5*
From what I've read too retarded timing will cause overheating and too advanced will ping/detonate. Should I set my timing for 8* and rely on the ported vacuum to do the rest I've read some people manually advancing it and later setting up the vacuum but I don't know if I am confidant doing that and want your guy's input.
I have just got my carb working right now and was looking to break it in this week. Gonna be 5* C outside but will have water/snow ready if she gets hot.
Also made a oil pump primer out of an old dizzy
I also set the idle on the 2300 Holley to the factory benchmark (2,1/2 turns out) and i think it will be fine because at 2000-2500 a guy wont be using the idle circuit right? Will be able to fine tune it once the break in is over though.
