Every time I drop a distributor into a motor I always get the same questions and comments. How do you know where to drop it in? How do you set the initial timing? How do you find top dead center?
Ignition timing is very simple but very important to make the car run properly.
I always "static" time my motors when I've had the distributor out. Static timing is a function of essentially setting the timing by hand with the motor not running. Then it can be fine tuned with the timing light after.
This video contains information about timing any small/big block Chevy.
283,305,327,350,400,396.427,454 ect. Maybe not be a perfect tutorial, but it has always worked for me.
Now tell me in the comments how I did it wrong.....
Also buy a shirt so I can buy more hood scoops:
