10 years later, and still the best video explanation of timing.
This cleared up alot of my confusion with timing. I was really confused because I'm new to working on cars. Thank you
Hands down the most comprehensive explanation of ignition timing on TH-cam
That Freiburger guy is pretty interesting, he should revive junk cars on a show!
Maybe start his own show on engines using the Westech Dyno with two Steve's?

Best video on timing I have seen. Thanks
Dave's the best! I always trust his knowledge. Explains it perfectly!
excellent natural teaching skills plus good mastery. THANK YOU.
and if you dont have any mark and no values from factory how do i get my timing right?
@@lkkjhtemmexv1838 put a socket extension inside the first cylinder hole and turn the engine until the extension is allthe way up, ie when cylinder 1is at TDC then set the cams accordingly
Fred Durst really looks happy with his new job.
LOL Good one!
I was just going to say... I didn't know Fred Durst was a mechanic.
Haaaaa
He does it all for the Nookie
Even while doing a video with Biff Tannen!
Chad and Dave, thanks to your video my kids now know how to set timing and have resolved a serious kickback issue on our ski boat. You saved our summer vacation and starter motor :) Thanks guys.
This explanation is clearer than water! Congratulations guys! Excellent!
More than I ever learned in auto mechanics class
Me too I'm old-school from middle to late seventies auto mechanics Technical High School
Still the best timing video on TH-cam
This is a great video. Even though I'm learning about mapping my ECU, I now understand how to set the ignition timing using a timing gun (the rest is through the programmable ECU in my case). You're videos are very clear and concise and have helped me a lot. Thanks very much.
Timing light is an amazing piece of ingenuitive engineering.
I can’t believe over 1M views and only 5k likes. Very good instructions for someone who only kind of understood timing.
Awesome video! Had to watch 5 videos that failed to explain how to use a timing gun until this one!
I love how 90's this video is. Straight down to the high and sideways camera angles... why was that ever a thing?
Cuz it was cool and xtreme! It broke the rulezzzz duuude!!
Finally, a video that shows how to do it, and what is involved thank you
These two guys were perfect!!. They should both go into teaching Auto-Shop.
A very clear and helpful presentation on ignition timing, thank you!
Thanks guys, very informative, still new to this ,my engine is starting to make sense to me, it really helped. 👍
These guys are always on top of there game .I love your show engine masters !!
Best video! The others don't even show what the hell I'm supposed to be looking at with the timing light!
I ever had to set timing until today. Thank you very well explained.
A younger Frieburger with a mullet! Classic!
one of best videos I have seen
Done very well for the nubies and a great refresher for us old hot rod guys!!!!
Probably the best video out there for timing
Very good complete explanation! Thank you.
Video saved for reference. SO FULL OF GOOD STUFF!! Thank you for making this.
It would be nice to see the actual distributor hold down clamp bolt that gets loosened. It is hard to see on most cars and an idea of seeing where it is or looks like would help. Great video.
iconaclastor it's right under your dist cap
Good presentation gentleman. Totally appreciate the professionalism.
Best explanation of advance timing, thanks!
Excellent
Very informative and appreciate the way you educate with your high skilled expertise.
Thank you brothers.

I 'thought' I knew what I was doing 😕
Thanks Guys. Great Work.
🦁✌
I'm guessing people have accidentally push the dislike button on this video it is very informative thank you
the manual for my '74 sbc says set initial timing to 6* but that is with the vacuum disconnected, so wish these guys touched on vacuum advance a bit, other than that it was a solid video
That is probably why he is telling you to set the initial timing at 12 BTDC. Some Ig. set ups use a magneto style pickup inside the dist. chevy refers to that as being called an ignition module being used in place of a mechanical advance Sic Big block chevy on my 93 Silverado. The computer does the advance curve from the initial setting so there is no mechanical vacuum advance. Even the old style Big Blocks the initial setting would be about 6BTDC with the advance connected and I do not approve of that method for 2 reasons with a mechanical advance. Under load Sic> a steep hill the engine maintains a different curve. Disconnecting the advance sort of simulates that curve but you can't simulate a load and steep hill and that is one of thee main reasons the pulling camshafts were invented. Always use 12 to 16 BTDC for your initial settings and go from there. Too much advance can create intense internal heat so it's better to start in the basement and work your way up. The last more important reason has to do with tire size can affect the timing position. Believe that or not turning a large or smaller rear or heavy mud tires requires some extra retarding of the initial ig setting. Also firing too far before that top peak pressure can also cause extreme heat and especially on a TBI motor it will feed the engine way too much fuel and that is what causes that extreme heat. The reason most people with RVs have so many issues with the BB Chevy engines in motor homes. Those engines are already facing extreme heat inside and under that huge body of a motor home. Then plugs matter most Auto Light & GM AC Delco plugs you get from places like Advanced and Auto Zone their catalogs were affected by the collapsed economy and many of the proper heat range plugs are just not in their inventories especially for Motor Homes and 4x4 off roaders. Plain and simple it is goddamned hard to get the right plugs to use anymore. Even the dealer catalogs only go back 10 or so years and then the history is lost... You end up at the shops of specialists like me and I struggle to get the right shit to tune an engine.
I love the black and white cuts for like 2 seconds
You guys look young! Thanks for all the videos!
Terrific explanation. Thank you. Good job Fellahs
So let me see if I got this right . on compression stroke I want to set my dist 6 to 12 degrees before tdc. meaning drop my dist in to face number 1 terminal with 6 to 12 degrees on the balancer before tdc. I have been setting my dist in at 0 tdc,I would imagine this will be a game changer for more power on my 383 stroker.If I understand this correctly please let me know. thank you
Best video I've seen so far!!!
Great video. Thanks for the info. Now I feel comfortable changing my dizzy and checking and setting the timing.
Why does your chevy engine have the BTDC exactly the opposite of my 350 chevy?
Great video and really easy to understand. Great job!
excellent video. the real understanding of the concept and the way its executed. grt job boys
A really brilliant explanation - thank you.
Pre roadkill David! Hell yea!
Take a Tequila shot every time they say timing in this video, see if you can get up the next day.😄😁
Great video! The total timing tips at 6:03 are just what I needed 👍
Great video thank you! My question is Can we use the distributor rotation method on all types of distributors?
Can a bad crankshaft pulley cause the BTDC readings to read randomly between 3 degrees to 10 degrees on idle? when it should be 6 degrees plus minus 2 based on car owner's manual?
Really interesting. thanks for the video.
Great vid. Very informative for laymens like me. Trying to tune the Merc 7.4 on my boat.
ya liked watching some of these performance videos great explanation very through on how to use a timing light as well as adjusting distributor with the 3 main timing settings. "for those distributor based cars"
Yeah they done a great job explaining that thanks guys.
Great video guys but you didn't mention about locking out the MSD distributor. I have a 35ft boat with twin 509's 500 HP each, Msd Marine ignition with a marine pro billet Msd distributor. I locked my timing out at 34 degrees. Just set 34 degrees at idle and your done. Its very responsive, no hesitation, or load up at idle.
David Freiburger? Huh
Surprised he's associating himself with AAP. Lol.

Glad I just happen to stumble on to this video. I just started a new project and I don’t have any history on the engine. I suspect it has a aftermarket cam just based on the idle but stupid me I took the distributor out without noting the timing. I did mark in general the location of the distributor but I don’t know if I can set the timing correctly. After watching this clip I’m confident that I can get it close enough. If anyones has any tips for me I’d very much appreciate it. It’s a chevy 5.0l 305.
AWESOME LESSON THANKS
Excellent tutorial
Awesome video!thanks
Best timing vide i seen and well explain
That's so cool that Fred durst found a new career.
Great video, is it possible to do one using vacuum advance and compare with using mechanical?
One of the best videos on there, good on you
and I always verify TDC by installing a piston stop (made out of a bolt in sparkplug) in one cyclinder. wind the engine one way with a spanner gently until it stops- mark a line on your balancer, with a sharpie or something. And then reverse the engine and move until it hits again. Now scribe a line exactly in the middle of those two marks, that is your REAL TDC.
hi guys thx for your excelent well told advice But what should the tick over be running at
So 12 degrees advance would be "standard" timing for a stock small block chevy?
No stock timing was between six and eight degrees you can go as high as 10° for most engines with stock for Miles cams you're basically shooting for total timing 34° for Street engines
Ok so after they set the total timing Dave said they checked the base timing and its 19 degrees. So how did they do this if the timing light they are using doesn't have a total advance adjustment? I have always understood we can not use a timing light with the advance function for MSD ignition.
Excellent video, complete understanding from start to finish!!!
Absolutely great video y'all definitely know your stuff
Okay, about that third thing. What is it about the "rate" of the timing that you are trying to determine? Is it suppose to occur in a specified, or ideal amount of time?
Best video by far
Very well explained, Thank you!
So I'm working on a 76 corvette and is having trouble turning on.. the carburetor spits fire.. I'm assuming is the timing.. so how should I proceed to adjusted... this vehicle has been sitting for years...350 engine.
Good video guys!
Hi crew, I dialed in 34 degrees of total timing in my near stock (intake, exh, carb) 84 350 Chevy but it seems to perform worse now than when it had less timing. It’s not knocking & I’m curious why?
*Low octane fuel could be an issue. (Switch to premium fuel if you haven't already done so)
*Higher engine temperatures could cause knocking/ pinging. (Might need a colder thermostat)
*Lean fuel trim from improper carburetor jetting. (Larger jets might help)
*Potentially too much total timing in general. (Retard it a tiny bit until the knocking stops)
*Cast iron heads that hold a lot of heat could be a reason. (Nothing you can do except retard total timing)
*Exhaust pipes could be too small and not allowing proper amount of heat to espace the cylinders. (Larger exhaust will help but I very seriously doubt that's your issue)
Great Informative Video! Thanks
Great video, thanks.
Great video thank you! I learned so much!
Now if only i can apply this to my situation lol 😅
I didn’t KNOW Fred Durst worked with Freiburger!!
Now I understand. Thanks guys!
Engine Sounds Gr8. Good Video
Could you use a compression tester to find the top dead Center...then stop turning over engine when your about 5 or 10 pounds below maximum compression?
great job fellas, this was a big help
Freiburger!! you da man!!
I did not know the cool leader of Limp Bisket worked on cars. Respect RH DSD
So good at explaining things
Great clear article 👏
So if I use an aftermarket distributor I can convert my efi to carb? Wanted to try bike Carls on a golf aba engine
I have a question when I am setting my timing on my 383 stroker when you put your hand on top of the distributor cap with the engine running it shocks you any reason why this could be happening it’s all brand new it did hit the fire wall when I put it in
Bobo mcrae not a 100% sure.
But, I think it’s not grounded. It’s using you to complete the circuit.
Even though your distributor is new. I would open it up and double check for that ground wire and strap is hooked up.
“New” doesn’t mean anything anymore!
Good luck!
Larry
I'm trying to find out how to adjust the timing on my 93 chevy cheyenne C1500; without the scanner.
What about if I don’t have a timing Mark ????
How do I set the time and then ?
very nice so you are advancing so the explosion happens at 10degree ish so how do u no its at 10degree?
I have a Ford 460 and had to change distributor and ford Manuel says unplug the spout wire then set to 10 degrees btdc. And I did that and it idles at 850 rpm and sounds good but then when I plug the spout wire back in it changes the timing to 20 to 25 degrees and the engine idles at 1020 rpm is that normal ? Is it supposed to increase like that after plugging the spout wire back in ? I can't find any info on this anywhere
Good vid, but you guys mentioned nothing about vac advance for street engines. I think alot of people get confused with setting initial timing, so explaining how vac advance plays in is relevant.
I have to do this on my '88 IROC with a 305 TPI. Just too cold right now to mess around with this stuff.
I have a 1968 camaro, 355 small block chevy high compresion with a msd ignition has been lock. My problem is when the moter gets hot the ignation gets stock will not move left or right . timing can not be adjust please help to find problem.thank you.
Very Interesting! Thanks Guys!
If i use the 4+ advance timing gear mark on a small block chevy 5.7 vortec mild cam 480 lift 265 duration what is the recomended timing light procedure .Do I add 4 or subtract 4 to your number
