timing

I was wondering what the best timing setting would be for my 240. should i set it at the factory 6 degrees or should it be something different for better performance. im not worried about emmissions. theres no emmissions test here

timing

I had a 71 with a 240 and I set it at 10 degrees BTDC. It seemed to perform a bit better there than at 6 degrees BTDC.
