The motor in my car is a '68 high comp. I have checked the dwell, within
tolerance. The motor has three timing marks. T.D.C & what?  Reading it left
to right, t.d.c, 5&10 deg. b.t.d.c? The shop manual I have doesn't show
this, it shows 5 marks. The manual said to set timing at 600 rpm, vacuum
disconnected and should be 14 deg. b.t.d.c? Is this still correct with
unleaded gas. I set it to 12 deg.(I think?) and the car would idle fine but
would not start. Next I set it to 9 deg.(again I think?) and it starts fine
and runs good but feels sluggish above 3000 rpm. Can anyone help me set
timing?

P.S    Skye was nice enough to put my car on his (great)web site!
