stoatman Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Ah , ok I had a very basic gun that just strobed. There is a white mark on the crank pulley where you are aiming to set it too and two red marks either side to give you the limits. These marks were really difficult to spot without the gun but dead easy when you shined it. This helped a bit , its a bit shaky though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noodels Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 16 BTDC +/-16-18 is better than 14 tbh if pinking at 18 reduce = fuel used ect.top fuel dragsters run a better spark is possable the lower the pressure in the combustion chamber =charecteristics =less advance means poorer spark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
