I appreciate the input but, I'm totally lost. The timing card is above from Isky.

I guess what I'm asking is based on the cam card above, what do I set the timing to? A Ford manual for a standard 289 shows 10 degrees BTC. With this cam in what do I set the timing to? 8 Degrees BTC, 12 degrees BTC??????? When timing the car I'm twisting the distributor to advance or retard the timing based on the timing marks on the dampner.

The 650 DP I'm running has no vacuum. Strictly mecanical secondaries. Compression is like 9.3:1 or 9.5:1.

Totally lost........
