[Fot] Spitfire timing?

[Bud R]

Thanks for all the comments on timing.

The source of the 48 timing number indicated that was a typo and they meant 38 degrees total advance and going down from there until no detonation. Sorry about that.

I was just curious as Kas’  spitfire competition manual says 32 max or there will be detonation. Which is where I have it set now with no detonation.

The car is going on the dyno on Tuesday so hopefully once the carb (DCOE 40) is dialed in we will get the timing to where the engine likes it best.

Thanks
Bud
