It depends on the altitude you're at. The stock setting is 6-degrees BTDC, 38 degrees total. I'm at over 6000 feet so mine is set at 14-degrees BTDC and that's perfect for up here. I got my pointer at the junkyard real cheap...
: Question for the experienced...
: What should the timing on a 302 be set at for best performance?
: My 74 is basically stock with an E-brock Performer RPM, Holley 600 CFM and dual exhaust.
: Question #2, where in the hell can I get a timing pointer for this engine? Everybody and their brother sell one for SBC's but I can't find one for a small block Ford. Kind of useful for checking the timing...
: Thanks,
