Hello,
I'm wondering where I should set my ignition timing. Its a 65 B-18 020 over pistons with a D-cam, running SU HS6, vac distributor (rebuilt, stock).

The book I have for B18 says 20 degrees BTDC

Reading around on brickboard, the consensus for D-cam seems to be 4-5 degress BTDC

I have a 140 series green book that says pretty much 10 degrees BTDC for the B-20s

To be honest, the car runs best at around 14 BTDC

I want to get the timing right before fine tuning the carbs.

Any thoughts?

THANK YOU!
-Mike
