If you're not sure of the specs throw the question out there. Vehicle weight, tire size, rear axle ratio, fuel quality, carb. settings, automatic trans. etc.. will be considered when fine tuning your timing. Many run the same combo as you so you can get a better idea where you want to be if you ask.

Ahh, this stuff is harsh. It seems as though a person has to have this set up before he can set this up, but then he can't tune that before the next thing is tuned. Seems to be going in a circle for me For now though, getting the timing in the general area so it doesn't stall out on me is a good start to it all. From what I've observed with the P/O he seem to have let things slide when it came to this car so getting it properly running is a step in the right direction.

Should I go check the timing at idle for interest sake?
