How much adjustment does the distributor provide for ignition timing? I know some have smaller/larger slots than others that will affect this, but what is the approximate range in degrees from all the way retarded to all the way advanced at the distributor?

[Joseph Davis]

+/- 9 degrees, sometimes more like +/- 8 on some distributor housings.

Thanks JD

NP

I don't know everything, but I know the limits.

-8 is what we usually were able to get when we did alot of nitrous cars. A guy down in sothern California one of the few guys to run 10's on a fmu daryl bacon use to slit open all the dist bolt holes. I have no idea what his base timing was but the way the car ran Im thinking almost nothing.

[jagojon3]

So total range is around 16-18 degrees of adjustment, sweet.

[ratcityrex]

I thought total range was like 8-9


I kow with my car running if I go all the way from one way to the other on the dizzy it only changes my timing from about 12-19

You just completed contradicted yourself.

edit: you must mean it changes from 12 deg. advanced to 19 deg. advanced, I thought you mean it changed in a total range of 12 to 18 degrees.

[ratcityrex]

My bad I forgot to add ish at the end of 11-19"ish"





And I now see that I typed 12 instead of 11.....lol

[jagojon3]

What

[ratcityrex]

[jagojon3]

I still don't understand what you were trying to say.

The rest is easy to understand.
