i just bought a 009 dizzy to replace my vacuum advance one and was wondering how do i time it. i read that it is suppossed to be 30degrees advance at 3000 rpm. is that 30 degrees atdc or btdc? thanks

Why did you replace your vacuum one with an 009? Was it broken? Timing is between 28-30 degrees BTDC @3500 rpm.

Well, I think you might be hurting your performance a little switching to a 009, so you may be in for a treat.

Use a timing light, you want to be at the right of tdc.

I've used several 009s and always set them to 7.5 BTDC with a static timing light. That usually gets them in the ballpark...then double-check with a timing gun at 3,000-3,500 rpm to verify max. I've always liked 32 degrees total.

009s have always given me better fuel economy :)

I've only static-timed both my 009s, and have been happy with them, on both 1600 and 1835. I use stock points, not special 009 points. Maybe my 009s are different because they were made in the 1970s???

Timing will depend on compression ratio and how good your gas is.
