Tuning a DZ 302
Guys this is my first post. I've always loved this forum but never have had a super car that fits in. I do have a 69 Pro Touring Camaro but that's for different forums. The reason I'm posting is because I work on classics as a side job to my real job. I have a 69 X-33 that has been sitting for a few years I am in the middle of getting it back in shape for a customer. One of the questions that I have is setting the timing at 4 degrees. Most small blocks I set at 14 to 16 initial and shoot for 32 to 34 total. This 302 runs lazy at 4 degrees initial, if I bump it up to 14 or 16 it sends my total over 45 degrees I don't want to modify the dist. on this original car. What are you guys doing? Also the dwell seems to like 25 degrees over the recommended 30 degrees. Plug gap is at 35 degrees.
