Just wanted to see what most you guys are running for initial timing. And whats a good base line to start at and what would be considered too much?

no radio , need some entertainment. call the band knock -ping and bang . note: care less what other do , when I time my engine -- just find out what it wants

IMO,locked out timing isn't what it's bragged up to be. I run a complete MSD C/T setup,and I would just as soon have my light spring setup.

I like my crank trigger, it goes with my external oil pump, Danny Bee belty drive, ATI balancer, green oil (and teeth), stud mount rockers, and my homemade guide plates.....................

everybody tells me to lock my timing out except one good friend. If he didnt know what he was doing I probably would have by now. But street cruising dont need to be locked out and not really good for the small idling crusing

ours is locked but we adjust the timing with the 7530 so I guess it's really not locked. but during the run it is locked. we only have it adjusting below 4000 for driving throught he pits and starting.
