Default I need a pic

Does anyone have a pic of the timing degree marker on the timing cover? Or can you tell me where 6* BTDC is? TIA

Just about anything you want can be found with search, here's a recent post that probably covers what you're looking for.

Thank you very much, I did a search but I didn't see that thread. Looks like my timing is at 3* BTDC. Is this enough to cause the car to run badly at higher revs?

Might be down a hair on power but that's only 3d off factory. Won't do any thing to cause miss fires etc if that's what you're looking for, doubt you'd feel much diff between 3d and 6d, you might feel it from where you are to go to 8d.

Just checking, but you did pull the timing plug first to check that?

My dad said I should put it at 9*. I did pull the EST and it feels like it idles smoother with it disconnected.
