STOCK Flywheel
Rules are written like this.
With degree wheel at perfect TDC.
Ignition timing will be checked by aligning the leading edge of the magnet with the trailing edge of the coil. Degree wheel must not exceed 16°.
I interpret this as.....it is not the true ignition timing, but a way for the officials to perform a "relatively" quick check without getting a timing light out and going through the whole process.
Am I interpreting this correctly?
What would the true timing be "about" while following this rule set?
Just curious what the degree difference might be between actual firing point and this tech reading.
6°? 8°? 10°?
Thanks
