Timing?
It's a 292 with a 600 CFM Holley and free flowing dual exhaust.
I'm about to install the pertronix ignitor kit in my Distributor.
I was wondering where to set the timing for best performance?
Also, what is the stock timing set at?
Thanks,
Mike

Not sure numbers-wise, but I always set my timing as far as I could. Advance it until the motor kicks back when I try to start it, then go back the other way a little bit at a time until it starts easily.
Thats pretty much max advance and my 292 loved it. I never have to do anything more than "bump" the starter and its running and ready to go, even when its cold.

kens64..thats the same method of setting the timing i use on my 54 239ohv.
i just twist the distributor till the engine sounds as if its running free,then back off just a few rpm's..some people are amazed how fast this engine will fire off..same as yours..even when its real cold..
