just advanced my 7afe today. I never checked the timing since i got the car (only 4 months old). My autos teacher said it was around 8 degrees which was low. So i think we got it to like 11 or 12 as much as the dizzy cap would go.

Yeah bitter is right, use a timing light. If you dont you hae no idea on how far you might of advanced your timing. IIRC the stock setting is 10, so if you have 8 your timing is retarded.

sorry bitter i just hate how if i leave one thing out in a post everyone looks down on me, I apologize.
Well since my timing was slightly retarded i got it up a bit more than factory. I think its barely noticeable but its not a bad idea just to check. Since my distributor cap is all the way clock wise, my auto teacher said its about 11 degrees. Would i just have to set the timing light to like 14 or 15 or is that all i'm going to get out of my 7a? -------------------- 2nd Gen 3s-gte.... It lives!
