Engine Point question

Get a timing light first. One that has an advancing feature to "dial up" higher advance readings. You'll still need to se tthe timing first, regardles of carb or intake. Most 318s have a base timing of between 6 and 10° before TDC. Top Dead Center is where the mark on the balancer and mark on the timing cover denote. After you get the light, then set it for 10° as a starting point.
