Effects of not enough timing advance @ idle
 

If I do not have the ideal advance at IDLE will it hurt the motor? Im not talking alot here just 2 deg. or so less than perfect...My total advance is about 2 deg. to much so I want to take it off on the idle....Any problems here guys?

Thanks

It will be O.K. just O.K. !! just be sure the total is right don't drive it with to low total it super heats the intake valve
send me the dis. we'll fix it for free ,just p.m. me :) :)

Im using the D.U.I. distributor...It has 26 deg @3000 built in...I was running 8 deg @ idle.....Stock timing is 30 deg total. My motor seems to like 32 deg total...34 and I don't see any more rpm's or speed...Idle is not quite perfect (what is)but is o.k. From what I understand the vortec heads don't like the timing the stock sbc heads do......Thanks for the info Bobby.

You could probably send them to DUI for a re-do.

I just ordered a set of DUI's. How do you like them?

So far they seem awesome......Great Customer service....Im sure I will end up sending them in but I want some seat time before Im sure exactly what I want as far as initial advance....Besides I can't bear the thought of being without my boat for a week or so!!!!

Thanks! Seems like I made the right choice.

I feel your pain about being without the boat. I blew a motor 3 weeks ago and still have another 3 to go. Well, at least the wife is getting me to do more "hunnydews" during the down time.
