Dumb Question...
Ok, my timing light died finnaly. So, on my built BBC, when i increase the timing, I do this by manually moving the dist...I have a HEI into a 6AL. My timing marker I have on the harmonic dampener only goes to 16 degrees... so after that, it's all manual with alot of testing to find the sweet spot. I think it likes about 30 degrees... but not sure exactly. I always make sure I have no pings, or starter bind, etc... but get response.
My questions: I did not build the engine, do not have cam spec's. I want to know before I replace the timing light, how do you check timing when you have no timing marker that goes that high, or can you use a timing light or some timing device that will show how many degrees you are at?? I want to know exactly where I am at... The motor is BBC w/ high lift duration solid Lunatti, manual HEI w/ no vac advance, MSD/6AL.
