almost same as elmariachi.........

428 w/4.25 stroker crank (455 ci) 10.1:1 cr, alum heads, Comp 294 flat tappet hyd, MSD 8594 distr w/black bushing, but I think I have one blue & one silver (?) spring in it now. Currently set at 18 initial & 36 total.

Once this summer heat in Okla breaks, I'm thinking of bumping it to 20 & 38 and see how it does.

Base timing of 6, 8, 10 is from the old reference books back in the 60's. I started at 8-10, it was very sluggish and idle temps were horrible!

Good luck!
