Timing Question....
So I had a quick question on timing....
What are the symptoms (sounds, drivability, etc) of your timing being too advanced or retarded?
For example, if as you started to moderately accelerate and you had too much timing adv too soon, what would you notice?
Thanks

Too much too soon will get you pinging and hard starting. Too little and it will have very little/no power, possibly overheat. could be a long list of other stuff on both ends- that's just what I thought of first
pinging/ticking under acceleration for too advanced, no power and hot if retarded too much - but there is a WIDE window of "ok"
