I have a 72 Lemans with a 1977 W72 motor. My questions is what should the initial timing be. The book says 16 to 18 degrees for a W72 but that seems alot compared to the earlier 70s 400 that requires 8 to 10. Also the harmonic balancer's last number is 12 degrees BTDC with several unmarked units after that. Eighteen degrees would almost be off the harmonic balancers's scale. Due I have the correct balancer? Thanks

Phil
