how do i set my initial (mechanical) timing on GM HEI 8 Pin

Post by ubercamaro »

MSII, MT 2.25, V3 board, using a relay for the ignition module to supply timing during crank (as suggested in the megamanual)

I have the car idling but my timing is at 15 degrees and I have have to get my trigger offset done in MT, but when it is idling MS is supplying the advance and during crank the ignition module is supplying the advace so how do i set my timing to say 10 deg BTC?

Thanks,

Patrick :D

Lance,

Thanks! I think I got it. I read your post and found the megamanual on it too.

The car is now able to go around the block on its own power! just need to replace my dying alternator and off to tunesville.
