OK, so there's supposed to be a decal under my hood that shows the timing mark. But there's not. So my question is, which point on the timing thingy is 4 degrees? I've marked the point I think it is with white chalk (well, tried to. It's hard to get my hand down in there and see what I am doing at the same time). Am I correct? Thanks,

I think you are correct, the deep "V" notch is TDC I believe and each line is 2 degrees.

Unless you are faced with emissions checks, I would advance the timing and make some easy power. I think I am running mine at 12 or 16 BTDC. I really does liven them up quite a bit.

Thanks for the confirmation Clyde.

I would agree, 4 degrees is pretty low. I would try advancing it more as suggested.

I have a pic of my emissions sticker and it shows 6 BTDC for 77 305, but that is still way low. As long as it doesn't ping I would start with 12 BTDC and go up from there.
