Ok Chevy Guru's what is the initial timing for a 305 TBI suppose to be set to?

Factory spec for the TBI engines is 0 degrees (assuming stock computer) most engines will take 2-3 degrees

hooters is awsome. so are the chick's, there isnt one around were i live either. but when i go out of town i allways hit one. the closest one to me is 110 miles. unless there is one in charlston west virginia, that would be about 1 hour and 20 minutes away.

actually, some are set at 0* and some are set at 10*.

never seen the one set at 10*, only sixers, but also, remember that you have to undo the single wire connecter near the passenger side firewall and THEN start the engine and set the base timing, then shut the car off, and plug it back in. you might have a check engine light after this, but its just a code 42 i think, dissconnect the battery for a few minutes and it will clear.

my 90RS says 10* on the sticker, yet my cousins 89 305tpi says 0* and the chiltons manual says 6*

just depends i guess
