Timing specs for 66 K-Code engine

  • Anyone know the timing specs offhand for our cars? Mechanic is asking "how many degrees of timing at a certain RPM at idle with vacuum advance plugged"

    Thanks,

  • K engines are 12 btdc initial somewhere around 700 rpm. A K code should not have a vacuum advance. Maybe California cars did? Is your distributor a dual point? Normally a car with vacuum advance is set without the hose attached.

    Yeah, the vacuum advance thing was a mistake, haha. Fred set me straight and gave me specs as well. Thanks for the response.
