22R timing issue
I am trying to time my little stock 87 work truck. It's your basic carb'd 22R.
The setting I need to get to is 0 degrees with the distributor vacuum lines pulled.
The distributor bottoms out at about 5 degrees, I cant bring it down any lower.
I am just not a motor guy, I'm guessing there is something on the carb I need to adjust, I'm just not sure what?

I am plugging the lines when I check, I pulled and re-indexed the distributor about 10 times, it either runs or it doesn't, and when it does run the timing just will not come down.
Such a pain. the truck runs like a champ too!

maybe the springs (mechanical advance) in the distributor are wore out? are you running an OEM unit or a DUI? I am guess OEM since you said it's your work truck and not the prerunner.

travis when you pull the dizzy you have to make 100 % sure your at TDC on the compression stroke not just TDC. By TDC compression I mean the mark on the balancer has to be at 0 AND the #1 exhaust and intake valve rockers MUST be loose. (not loose by un-tightening them)
