High altitude timing
So where should I set the timing on my 460 if I live at 8000 feet? Also, I'm not exactly sure how the distributor should be lined up. Is TDC at 0 degrees or at the bigger line that is closer to 5 degrees? Where should I have the timing sitting when I drop the distributor in at the #1 position?
Thanks
Thanks

So drop the distributer in at TDC (timing mark 0) and then set the timing at 10 BTDC once I get it going? What's that other line that's on both sides of the scale at about 5 ATDC?
Thanks for the info...

I lived at 7700' and played with my timing once. It pinged at hard throttle at 13* base timing...so it doesn't need to be changed over low altitude. Its now somewhere under 11* so it doesn't ping.
