frankenstang 11 Report post Posted October 27, 2011 I have a timing question. I have the 200 in my '69 base coupe automatic. It has the 1100 carburetor on it and everything was freshly rebuilt. The only oddity is that I have a 70 head that is a slightly larger bore and fuel log. I know the timing for the 200 auto says 6 degrees beyond TDC but it just isn't idling right or sounding right. She isn't road worthy yet but I want to get it close. Any suggestions on how far out to take it? I know that one I do that I will need to adjust the carburetor too. I was also thinking Pertronix II. I have the dual advance distributor. Do I need the thermactor or no thermactor. Thanks, Steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
02Lightning 10 Report post Posted October 27, 2011 Is the cam degreed in? If not, just because it says 6 deg. doesn’t mean it’s at 6 deg. Is the vacuum line plugged when you checked it? I wouldn’t get hung up on the 6 deg. if it likes more timing give it more timing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
