Timing Light reading 70 degrees

[jsmcortina]

I just checked an MSQ (tune) I have saved from an LS4 which uses the 60-2 (58X) wheel on the crank. That is using 76 degrees for tooth#1 angle.

well either way the engine dies when i hit 60... so no way to get to 76

Ok well i just wanted to follow up...

My engine was some how running at 70 degrees timing...

Once i got the engine up to temp
i adjusted the tooth #1 angle slowly while playing with the gas pedal to keep it from dieing.

Once i got to 84 degrees on the tooth #1 both my timing lights were reading exactly what i was setting the fixed timing to.

Now my engine idles a 850 rpm and not 1500 and its alot more tolerable as far as the idle exhaust noise.

Now right when i put it in gear and try to drive i have to give it a ton of gas to keep it from dieing.

I didnt actually drive it cause i didnt want to keep starting the car over and over again with out giving the starter a chance to cool.

Now i guess i have to play around with the fuel tables to give it more fuel when idling so it doesn't keep dieing

Now might be a good time to post your most current msq and log, I think. I suspect you can get some help with your fueling.

Glad to see you got the timing straightened out!

Haha and of course going back thru the manual to look for fueling direction

reread this ....
