Want ~10-15 initial. Also what Nitrousn said may b vac leak. We can pull the pass valve cover & check "rockover" on #6 & at that point the timing marks will b way off from TDC if it's off a tooth but the easy stuff 1st & not sure the best way to check for a vac leak. Holler back when you find something out RapidRobert, I think we did this right. We set the initial at 30 degree while the car was running. The we shut it off and turned the crank by hand until the timing mark was at 10 degrees. We popped the cap and the rotor is pointing about a quarter of the way past #1 toward #8 (see pic. black line indicates where #1 terminal is) and the tab on the reluctor blade is quite a bit past the magnet tip. 6566739-rotor.jpg (42 downloads)
