What do you set the timing on, on a 305 TPI iroc camaro? (1988)?

Answer 1

There are two specs on that year camaro with that engine.First spec manual trans set to 0 deg. Second spec auto trans set to 6 deg at 600 rpm in drive. These specs came from the service manual.

Answer 2

Actually, that really depends on weather the 'puter is still hooked up to it or not. If it is then you need to stick w/ the zero settin w/ the wire mention below dis-connected. That way the 'puter can advance and retart the timing as operating conditions warrent. But if, the 'puter is no loger involved or has been dis-connected I still wouldn't set it much hi'er then 8-10 degrees advance.

Q: Why can't I seem to get a proper timing reading?

A: The computer is programmed to automatically advance the timing. You need to disconnect the brown/black striped wire next to the heater box/fan housing and then you can get a real reading. Otherwise it will seem like it's advanced a great deal.

Good luck!
