Unusual Hemi Timing Setting....

Oldschool said

My 572" Hemi likes about 35*-36* total timing, depending on fuel. I run the MSD dizzy locked with a MSD timing retarder that allows the engine to crank at 15*-16*. Once rpm rise above 1000, the timing goes straight to the total timing number. No issues at all.

That's certainly one option, but I'm unsure he wants to do that. He has the Mopar style ignition now and I don't think he wants to change it. He's driven it a good bit since I tuned on it and he's a lot happier, so we're on the right track. I believe he's going to put the Eddy 600s back on it and he wants me to tune on those. Next time I work on it, I'll try to remember to get pictures. It's a pretty cool car.
