Where should timing be on decellaration?

Should it return to base?

There should be advance left in the timing on engine overrun. It should gradually move towards base timing as the manifold pressure rises towards idle figures and rpm drops towards idle.

I have never observed real time data on the factory curve. Maybe someone with the proper equipment can let us in on the specifics of a factory timing curve.

BZ,

Christobal is correct. The timing should be advanced at decel, but I have no clue as to exactly how much. The MAP, TPS, and RPM are the major inputs used to calculate advance. At low MAP, and TPS, the higher RPM of decel will indicate a near maximum advance condition. The CTS and IAT/MAT sensors also play a minor part in timing offset.

Later,
Vader

I get a backfire above 2500 rpm, could this be due to, to much advance? the backfire is on decell only. Thanks alot

Check out your exhaust. Decel. backfires are often caused by an exhaust leak or a lack of back pressure. I don't think it would have anything to do with timing.

Havn't we already told you thats normal for a carbed car. Seriously though it cant be as bad as my backfire on accel.

I ahd the stock 305 in here a summit 350 in here and all of them where carbed motors and they did not have this problem, no matter how hard I got on them, my friends carbed 350 in and a 5 speed does not do it with the same exaust. I can keep going here, I don't think it is normal at all. The exaust has check out and there are no leaks, I have ahad a cat on off gutted and nothing changes.
