timing spec for 73 olds 455 stock engine
Can anybody tell me the timing spec for this engine? It is all stock, except for a Holley on it instead of the quadraflog. the person that set it up had the vacuum lines going everywhere but where they should be, and I know the timing is off because of that. I rerouted the vacuum lines, so now all I need is a base timing spec. It has an HEI distributor, with mechanical and vacuum advances both working.
Thanks, Rick |

Rick, Motor's says there are 2 settings, one for intermediate and one for full size cars. They are:
Full: 8* BTDC @ 1100 RPM Intermediate: 10* BTDC @ 1100 RPM Both with the dist vac line disconnected and plugged so as not to lean it and raise RPM's. |

Cool! Thank you very much! It is going to be in a midsize (G-body), so that is very helpful.
