I haven't checked the timing on my car for a while so i decided to check last night. 15 degrees at idle and something around 48 at 3000rpms!!! Its a Summit brand HEI that is vacuum advance, trying to turn it clockwise got it down to 15 degrees untill it started to hit the firewall. Do you think its a tooth off because even if i had the room to keep turning it the distributor would most likely be almost sideways. Should i pull it and take it one tooth counter clockwise? I'm taking it to my grandfathers buddy who raced big time "back in the day" and he's been a mechanic all his life, so i'm going to see if he can get it perfect and the carb dialed in to match, but i was curious if i should mess with it before taking it too him.
