Re: Diacom....28 Degrees total timing (wheelsup)
Ok.. Let me further explain.. <grin>
I have a 1991 car that had some custom work done on it -- and it has a custom chip programmed. I was told by the previous owner that the "timing was conservative for pump gas" and that he thought it was at about 28-29 total degrees. Something tells me that some additional timing with good gas might be worth some ponies. Lets be safe and say 32-33deg total.
I have Diacom on the way.
When I get the Diacom in place where will I need to start to determine what the heck the car has for timing? How do I need to go about checking the initial settings etc? If I want 32-33 instead of 28-29 will simply dialing in some extra initial timing accomplish those goals?
I am very familiar with distributers and whatnot but this will be my attempt at trying to decipher this car.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
