Her69fastback 3 Report post Posted April 25, 2022 Almost done with the Holley sniper set up. What’s the base timing? I have read anywhere from 6 to 15. I usual do 12. What’s the best for this set up? The distributor is a Holley made for the sniper. I also have the Holley box to Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aslanefe 333 Report post Posted April 25, 2022 The values posted above are book values. Usually engines like more advance. I am running about 18 initial on my stock 1969 302. Are you controlling timing with Sniper? If so, adjustments are done via handheld or laptop. Start with value above, increase it 2 degrees, if not pinging, increase 2 more; keep increasing until it pings, then back of 2 degrees. After you find the initial your engine likes, then adjust the total by testing. 1 RPM reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
