Is this timing normal???

With the EST connected and at idle its showing 14-16* Advance? IS this normal. Someone said it was, but it just doesn't seem right.

86 Trans Am w/ built 355TPI with SLP goodies and too much other stuff to List. One sweet *** car, wish I would have had a good enough Job to pay insurance on three cars so I could keep it, but for a 89 Turbo Trans Am w/ Low miles, I think I made the right choice!

He'd ask the question in a different forum, I'd responded it was normal.

try 6 BTDC with connector, 10-12 ATDC without connector. I think my harmonic balancer has rotated.

Well its not that we don't believe anybody however its just we have been having this trouble for some time now and its getting to be a pain. The car has no power and when we clear the codes the 42 with the electric timing keeps coming up.


Thanks
