Default Timing

There were a few questions a couple of days ago on basic tuneup, use of a timing light etc.
Well there is a nice write up in this months Corvette Enthusiast mag on this very topic. It gives a step by step how to on setting dwell, checking timing (initial & total) and how to check centrifugal and vacumn advance.
I thought it was well done with lots of pics. :chevy
