Guys,

I am installing a new timing set on an engine with 8,000 miles on it. it ran beautifully with the stock timing set, but I wanted to get rid of the 40 year old plastic gear set. I am replacing it with a Edelbrock double roller.

The question is: Should I advance the timing set 4 degrees to lower the torque band or leave it at the stock setting beings the engine only has 8,000 miles?

Thanks,
Tom Katzenberger
