The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Adding a 4 blade instead of my 2 blade fan.

I do not have an FSI distributor. I am running points only with an a and L condenser.

Could someone explain as to how or why this happens? After retesting the timing I put the pin in and with the nurex gauge it was at zero and the pin went in. That is what I would expect to happen. When I started up the car and the left quadrant all the way up the timing gun showed 10° At idle at 400 RPM Why 10°, why wouldn’t it show zero if I just put the pin in and didn’t touch anything.

I have readjusted my stop on the quadrant so now with it down I am at 25° versus my old 21°.

So back to the issue of zero with the pin in and the timing gun showing 10° at idle
