Guess I was right from the beginning then :-/ Or have I misunderstood the guide?   http://www.2quicknovas.com/happytiming.html   Pelle   Från: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] För Shawn Price Skickat: den 27 september 2006 14:05 Till: The Chevelle Mailing List Ämne: Re: [Chevelle-list] Timing?   Never heard of that guide, and never heard of setting timing in drive. When you set initial timing with the distributor hooked up, it won't make any difference what gear the transmission is in. It is a simple relationship of the firing mark for the #1 cylinder to top dead center of #1 cylinder. Engine load or even speed (not taking into account for distributor advance weights) will not change that relationship.  Does the guide give any reason why it needs to be in drive? What do they suggest for a manual car?

Make sure you disconnect the distributor and plug the vacuum port on the carb. -- Shawn '69 Corvette 427 4-Speed '69 Chevelle SS 396 4-Speed '69 Charger R/T 383 4-Speed '67 Chevy C-10 3-On The Tree '00 Suzuki GSX-R 750 1-Down, 5-Up   On Sep 27, 2006, at 7:34 AM, Pelle Chevelle wrote:
