Important Notes

  • • Always verify actual timing with a timing light after installation. Key degrees are approximate.
  • • Listen for detonation/knock. If present, reduce timing or check fuel quality.
  • • Never use advanced timing keys (4° or 6°) without proper safety components (billet flywheel, billet rod).
  • • These calculations are estimates. Actual results may vary based on engine condition, fuel quality, and other factors.
