$6E Spark Retard
Hey,
You know the startup spark advance table? If I put in a value of 6 at 90 degrees, that'll give me 6 more degrees of spark advance during crank right? So if I put in -6 at 90 degrees, will that give me 6 degrees of spark retard for easier hot starting?

When cranking the timing is always at the base or initial setting. This is what the districutor is physically set to. The ECM SA tables are only used once the engine is running.
