Ok, I have already asked and got some good info on my previous questions about timing but forgot to ask a couple of more.
Stats: 88 MJ with a 4.6 Renix stroker with a Comp Cams extreme cam - when I got it back from the shop that put my motor in, it started and idled fine but under acceleration hesitated and backfired.
So I put the timing mark on the harmonic balancer on the zero mark on the timing chain cover and checked the distributor rotor and it was just about on the #1 spark plug wire, sooooo I put my timing light on it and it was showing the mark up near the top of the timing chain cover marks, not sure what timing it was since my cover is worn badly but its nowhere near the zero mark.
The questions I have are: A) which way do I attemp to turn the distributor to either move a tooth clockwise or counterclockwise? I know that the timing is controled by the comp. but obviously its off a tooth or two on the cam gear.
Is the timing on a 6 cylinder with an auto tranny supposed to be at zero or what?
thanks for all the help
