Put a timing light on it to check your TOTAL advance. You should be getting
ABOUT 28 degrees of advance with your centrif distributor. 5 degrees BTDC at
static should give you approx 33 degrees at full advance. But you don't know
if your distributor is giving you correct advance without checking it with a
timing light.

before tdc for my particular dizzy. i set it
roughly at 5 degrees. i have very little power for hills etc. i just ran the
valves at .006 and i set the timing. the exhaust seems to be really friggin'
hot to.
so i adjusted the timing a little bit more the exhaust seems to be cooler,
it seems to fire up quicker and idle smoother and a bit quicker. i have yet
to take it out and acutally test the bus to see if it runs any better.
my question is what in the H-E DOUBLE HOCKEY STICKS should the timing be set
on?
and i know someone asked me if i was running a degree pulley when i was
having that bit of an oil leak recently. what is wrong with a degree pulley
and is it ok to run one of those so i can be more exact with my timing
adjustments?
