I have a timing question for my 427SO. I just found out through my engine builder that we may have had a miscommunication on this issue of the engine timing related to the idle dying when the cooling fans kick in or when it gets hot. I moved the initial to 18 a year ago to get it to idle when the fans kicked in. That seemed to have done it. I sent the dizzy back to them and the recurved it to have 38 total at 3000 rpm. When I got it back and re-installed it I set the initial to the 18 mark I made on the balancer. It turned out that i was supposed to set the timing to the white mark they scribed in originally that is 38 at 3000. I was told that if I set it to my mark, then the timing is severely retarded. they say set it to the white mark and the initial should be fine. So apparently the timing is retarded at the initial and is causing lots of issues for me.
