Ok, so for the sake of discussion, I set the total timing to 36, you are saying I need to set for say 37 or 38 to allow for the delay? Or if I wanted 18 initial, set it for 20 or 21? How do you figure what the delay is? I may be making this harder than it is.




No... you set it to what you want... your looking
at the end results when your using the timing light





Thanks, that is what I thought, just having a problem with this delay thing. I could see it if you changed the box and then didn't check the timing. I suppose I was over thinking this. Which is hard to believe, have a hard enough thinking about it the first time. but anyway thanks for clearing that up.

By the time we got the box on and the wiring done, it was basically time to go to the track. Plan to check it this weekend.

Okay, checked timing Saturday, it looks like the timing was as much as 8 degrees retarded from what it was with the mopar chrome box. Will race again this coming weekend, will be curious to see if that completely explains the overheating.

You should be all set, might even see a slight power change with the MSD box. If nothing else the MSD will tend to keep the plugs cleaner.
