Default Re: 69 Z28 Timing

I have a stock built 302. The mech advance is 18* and the initial is 18* all in by 2800 RPM. I also have 15* of full vacuum advance. This is on 92 octane. The 30-30 cam needs alot of timing to run best. I also have the primary jets at #72 with headers. Plowman is correct. I have a Crane cam that limits the vacuum advance. Full vacuum advance allows leam mixtures (at idle and cruise) time to ignite and lets the engine run cooler.

I have a buddy that lives in Clovis. He loves the weather. A little nicer than chilly Philly where he is from!

Is he into the Camaro/Classic car thing? Does he have a car he takes to shows?

[/ QUOTE ] Nope, Not a car guy. He is from lansdale, Pa. and moved out there after he retired. he loves it there. His kids also live there. Its easy to live on the west coast when you spent 50 years in the east here.
