BEFORE Top Dead Center

How do i find that out? I just used a timming light.

Set it at 0-degrees and then retard it. Dont make me come down there :po:

[Dxray]

Maybe u should. lol:bang:

Well aint 0 TDC?? so if i turn it to 10, it will be on the down stroke. soo where should my ditributor be? Oh man this was simpler without sleep. lol

from zero i think you have to turn the distributor counterclock wise to get you at 10 degrees before top dead center. if you want to advance your timing just turn it clockwise. But if you said it is at 10 degrees already why do you wanna screw with it?

I don't. Just muddmachine playin with my head.:upy:

Hmmmm by the sounds of things it don't take much to play with your head at all :ro :upy: :D
