92SC now running, but checking a while before taking out for some breakin.
New short block from Ford. Stieg heads and cam, w/1.73 roller rockers, Bosch matched 42# inj, 87mmPro-M MAF, 85mm MP Tb, 3.5 intake tubes and K&N, ARP head studs, ported SC by MP, raised top, 190lph fuel pump, 2.5x3x2.5 exh w/o cats, raised top, MP IC kit with pusher and puller fans, 180F tstat, Magnecor wires, new plugs, mid-length headers, BHJ balancer, underdrive pulley set, 10% SC pulley, 4.2 head gaskets, and chip by APTEN. I'm sure I've forgotten something. Not yet dyno's, waiting for breakin.
Here's a question.
At idle of 1000rpm, we put a timing light on the engine and got firing at 18 deg BTDC.
Just checking. Does this seem right? Nowhere do we find any reference to this. Helm manual has a 10deg BTDC as an intial timing, and states that this is not adjustable.
