Your
altitude and cam have everything to do with timing.
What altitude do you drive
and what kind/spec of cam ?

What is the best method to
time a 74 TR6 with a Pertronix ignitor and a
Crane
ignition module?  I am
using the stock distributor with both retard and
advance 
lines disconnected. 
The car has triple Webers and headers with a
stock cam and 
the car is not
used on the street.  I have been told that with
the Webers, I 
will need to
time it a little more advanced to get the benefit
of the carbs.

I had thought
to start by using a vacuum guage to set the idle
timing and then a 
timing
light to see what it is doing at, say, 3000 and/or
4000 rpm.  Does anyone
have any ideas on what degrees of advance I should
shoot for at the higher
rpm?

Thanks, Jim in Folsom, CA
