69 tr-6 just overhauled and still trying to get it to idle smoothly.  Have the
S2 cam which is first upgrade from stock.  ignition, fuel and vacuum seems
fine.  does still have old gas.
presently have front apart including timing
cover to check timing sprocket alignment and make sure its right.  we think we
have that right however we test ran it for a few minutes.............(without
radiator ect) and found it ran and idled fairly well at 20-30 degrees btdc. 
book says it should be 4 degrees aftdc..............thats a huge differance
and I'm wondering if I could leave it at that............or will pinging be
unacceptable at load on the road.

just wondering if anyone else has run into
the same problem.

thanks
