| Post subject: | Super Six Slant Six Timing Questions |
Just finished the motor swap on my '67 Dart. Swapped in a slant six from a '69 Dart. Currently I have the carter two barrel super six set up. Distributor is stock with points. When I got the motor it was two teeth out of time. Getting ready to work on the timing and wanted to know best practices. Trying to get the best gas mileage with a 904 and still have some jump. Where should I be looking at as initial degrees at idle and onward from there? Should I be disconnecting vacuum advance during the whole process or part? I also have a spare tach laying around should I be using that as well to get as accurate as possible. I know ultimately HEI is the way to go and it's in the works this winter. Until then I just want a fun realiable motor to get me through the summer. Im really good at the nuts and bolts part and eager to learn the more technical aspects. Thanks! |

Everything is stock in my motor. I am assuming from other posts I've read to start at 5^ BTDC and work form there with the vac advance disconnected and plugged at the carb. Ideally end up between 7^ and 8^ BTDC. I've got a piston stop tool to find true top dead center just in case the balancer has shifted. Going to check the governor and vac advance to determine where I should fall at cruising speeds. I've seen 48^ advanced? Just wanted to check this information to make sure it's right. |

Here's the best timing baseline instructions I've seen: A: disconnect the vac adv. B: Rev engine until the timing mark stops climbing, about 2600 rpm C. Total timing no more than 36-38 degrees, max. (NOT INCLUDING THE VACUUM ADVANCE) |
