I was checking the timing on my 302 engine yesterday and noticed that I have the timing at 10 degrees before top dead center. This is a complete rebuilt engine. I have heard of guys setting the time at TDC on an engine like this so I thought i would ask you guys what the timing should be set at.
Should I set it to tdc or just leave it at 10 btdc? Thank you for your help.
