Re: *Engine builders advise needed*

Ok perfect image, thanks. I was looking at wrong mark, lol. Looks like 1 deg timing adjustment then. It's about 16th of in of so. I will use vac gauge one I get my hands on one. Good knowledge on springs, I knew the info for holley, just didn't know the same applied for eddys. I'll see what timing I'm currently at now and post back.

I'm guessing reading plugs for timing adjustments is like reading them for fuel mixture.
Only one parameter can be assessed at a time. WOT for example.
