OK, since it will be raining for the next few days, I decided to go ahead and install my new Snyder 6:1 head. After I got everything apart and all cleaned up, I wanted to find actual TDC since it is real easy with the head off. Sure enough, after getting it all setup and checked, the timing mark was 3 1/2 degrees retarded. Kinda surprised that the Timing Dimple on the new laminated cam gear is that far off. Now I feel much better knowing that everything "Jives"! So there is another 3 1/2 degrees of advance I was leaving on the table for the B Distributor.
