ok loosen all 3 bolts and push that sucker all the way to the head
|
alrighty man, i will do it manana and post back with how much i see of a difference
|
sounds good

Just be aware the heat produced from burning fuel in an internal combustion engine is a zero sum game. The EGT gauge reading lower only means the heat is somewhere else. That somewhere else in the case of advanced timing is in the cylinders, with increased cylinder pressure - thus better efficiency. So your EGT has shifted towards the pistons.
This won't usually be a problem within the normal rage of adjustments in a typical 1st Gen You could possibly run into issues with big power engines running on the hairy edge or possibly under heavy towing conditions, where you are going to get a meltdown quicker than you would with more conservative timing. |

My thoughts as well. Everybody thinks that they will save the pistons with advancing the timing to lower the egt's. I feel it only lowers the temp after the cylinders. ---AutoMerged DoublePost---

no cons that i know of.....
lower EGTS increased spool up better mileage take a tape and measure from the top of the pump to the head Slower spool up.:c: . |

never had that prob with an 1/8 bump:humm: |

Maybe not with an 1/8th but shoving it to the head was mentioned. :tu:
that is because it is only a 1/6-1/8 away from the head now |
Most people measure where the lines are on the timing cover. Mine is 3/16's above the timing mark but still does not hit the head.
|
interesting i have allways done it from the afc to the head and gone 1/8 up there so that would be say 3/8 down there:humm:?
