Adjusting the timing

Hay!1

I'm messing around with the timing but i have yet to hear the pinging. Right now, the screw/bolt is right inbetween the arch thingy (ie: equal air space on each side of the bolt). How far is yours?

thats not a good way to determine anything - go by the timing light and the timing marks on YOUR car...

He's just curious about where your cars is guys...
he probably has access to $$$$ timing lights from Snap On and stuff.

Spend any more time at the drag strip?
