Cranking Timing
Random question. . .
What is everyone using for your Cranking Timing? And Why?
I noticed that mine has always been set to -10. I have a feeling at some point I thought -10 would make it go by the table...but it doesn't.
I have never really had an issue because of it, but I changed it to 16* and it seems to start a bit better.
Input?

Uh, have you followed the MS timing setup steps? You set it to -10, which is the same as jumping GND and that other pin in the diagnostics box. Then, with a timing light, set your base timing to stock (10*?) by fiddling with a number above, forget what it's called. I'm so helpful.

This.
I have no idea why mine was originally set to -10. Probably explains why my car never would start while cranking, it was always after i stopped cranking and went to the "on" position that it would actually catch and start running.
Just curious. Thanks for the response guys.
