Timing for AFR Eliminator 180 Heads ?

Hi All,

I put AFR Eliminator 180 heads on my Son's 1988 L98 IROC-Z.

Presently running the stock Advance vs. RPM vs. Load table.

Does anyone have a recommended Advance table?

I heard (rumor mil) that these heads do not require very much advance. At least for carb applications.

Best Regards,

Bruce

They typically seem to like 30-34 deg at wot depending on compression and gas. Most cruise areas at lower loads seem to tolerate 34-36 deg or so for me. More would be nice if it takes it but my last motor didnt seem to want more than 35-36 at cruise

34 seemed to be my sweet spot on my 195's.

Sorry about the poor looking map.

I have not run the engine very hard. Looks like I should limit the values about ~36 degrees?

Best Regards,

Bruce

If you are starting a fresh tune keep it low for now and then as you get air fuel ratios in line, add more timing and see what it does
