Hello all,
I recently converted the 350 engine in my '73 Delta 88 to a Pertronix electronic ignition. I need to set the timing and my repair manual says to see a sticker in the engine compartment, but the owner before me had removed all stickers in a repaint effort. Does anyone know what the proper timing setting is for my car? Also, I want to put a new set of spark plugs in, but I don't know what the gap should be set at?

Thank you all in advance,
Chris

I can remember when electronic ignition systems came out in the 70's, plug gap for Gm's were .060". Timing my 455 w/distributor likes about 12 deg btdc, I'd play with that, AC R46R gaps at .035". The nonexsistant sticker may not do you any good with an electronic ignition unless it came with electronic ignition, then I am quite sure about the .060" plug gap.
