[Tigers] Ignition Timing a Stroker 289

	I did not see a reply to this so here goes.

Basically you can set up the ignition timing so it works for the way you
drive the car.

The stock 289 ignition curve would probably work just fine as long as all
parts of the distributor are working correctly and is giving you a good
smooth advance curve.

The more compression you have the less total advance you can dial in.

If the engine knocks; you have to retard the timing or slow down the advance
rate.

Here is one good article on the subject that may help you.

Hope this helps you

Hi guys;

Is there a formula, or some other way to determine the correct ignition
timing for a Stroked 289? Mine is now a 331, and it seems to me the timing
should be different from stock to optimize performance.

Thanks for any insight you can provide...

Dave
