Default Re: Getcha Motor Runnin - Engine Tuning Specs for 305 V6

Go to Jolly legacy page. Click engine data at top. Scroll to specs. Timing says 5 BTDC. Dwell is read with a dwell meter. It's a way to tweak (micro) the point gap after feeler gauge (macro). If you're lucky enough to have the window dizzy, you turn the allen wrench while watching meter......observing motor. 28-35. Keep checking timing as you mess around. Nice to have good/known/new, points, rotor, cap, plugs, wires, condenser. Otherwise you are apt to run in circles. Don't forget to take hose off of dizzy and plug it while timing only. Post back if you get in a jam. You are good at this stuff. Your kids have taught you well.

What is the reason for trying to screw up your motor? Tune up or something wrong?

The carb/fuel system is another story. Tune up electrics first to the correct numbers and good parts.

Before you start, get good visible marks on harmonic balancer and pointer at 0 and etc.
