i have read many articles on how to set the timing on a tpi car and every one i read is extremely confusing on 1 part because they never contain a picture of the timing marker and like most people i cant read the #'s on mine anymore .

so i am asking some one that knows 110% what the markings are to take my crude drawing i made of the marker and label it with the correct #'s where they belong so i am sure once and for all . thanks a bunch , and if a mod sees this please put the pic in the tech article on the home page on how to set the timing .

 

guess the timing is wrong on every ones cars here ?

 

if i remember correctly 8*btdc was the mark at the end to the left, but ill see if i take a picture of mine

 

nobody has a readable tab on their car ??

 

From left to right:

Edge 16 degrees BTDC
Point 12 degrees BTDC
Notch 10 degrees BTDC
Point 8 degrees BTDC
Notch 6 degrees BTDC
Point 4 degrees BTDC
Notch 0 degrees TDC
Point 4 degrees ATDC
Edge 6 degrees ATDC

 

your my new best friend THANKS ! .

 

so this should be right ,

 

Looks ok.

A dial-back timing light is a good investment so you don't need to worry about which mark is which anymore.

 

ill put that on my 3 mile long toy list lol . thanks again ..
