Timing tables-ACTUAL DEGREES VS "ADVANCED" DEGREES
Timing tables - ACTUAL DEGREES VS "ADVANCED" DEGREES
One thing to be careful of is that some timing tables will be the actual # of degrees you desire, but you also still have to set the base timing accurately. My 502's are this way, as it appears yours is to ALL DODGE. Other tables, like that one 454 i worked on for a friend, is the # of degrees that you are telling it to "advance". I made that mistake on that particular 454 when i put in the desired amount, but it advanced it that much on top of the base timing.
I didnt know until that day that apparently some were "actual" and some were "advance". Or maybe that what a fluke and had a setting in the mefi that would instruct it which to use, not sure. Just be careful and check it.
