This is something I probably should had done BEFORE I tweeked my carburetors for this altitude (+7000 asl). Especially, knowing that everything under the hood of my 70 Challenger was either freshened up or new. Including the new MSD distributor and ignition controls.
So, I timed it yesterday, to determine total timing.
BTW - I know it needs to be set at 36 to 38 degrees total timing at and around 3000 rpms.
Needless to say, I believe it is setup as is from the factory (I'll be popping the cap today to confirm, now that I have their instructions).
Which brings me to my point - The instruction, I downloaded, is just loaded with graphs and options out the ying-yang. It also states to choose the best selection over all the different springs and bushings. My question is, What is everybody else running out of all the springs and bushings that MSD offers in their kit? I know there are factors that might require tweeking on my part (Altitude, fuel quality, compression ratio, etc-etc)
I just need a suggested baseline as to where I need to start.
