I'm seeing a lot of different answers about where the harmonic balancer groove is supposed to sit on the timing mark tab...
My emissions decal says "6° BTDC @500 RPM"... I live in Tulsa, OK, elavation here is 722', low altitude
Currently, I'm set at 8° BTDC...
I can't even get the engine to idle @600 RPM without it idling rough and stalling.
Reading around online, I see mixed answers saying 8-10° BTDC, and 12° gives the most power. I just want a good 'ol gas friendly 305 lol... I would like it powerful, but I ultimately want it to save gas.
6° ?
8° ?
10° ?
12° ?
Which one is the right setting for a 305 H.O. ?
