STRANGE TIMING ISSUES
ok so i've been playing with getting the timing right on my 390
here's what i did and found out today
marked my balancer at
tdc
8 btdc
and 30btdc different marks for each location
i checked timing with vacuum advance disconnected
8btdc
i hooked up vacuum advance and checked timing with engine at 3500 rpm
it was wayyyy past 30btdc more like 45-50
so i disconnected vacuum advance and checked timing at 3500 rpm
35-38 btdc
so my vacuum advance is advancing the timing even more than the mechanical advance ?? any help ideas ?
