TIMING FUNCTIONS

Before continuing with the installation, here are a few deﬁnitions you should be aware of:

Initial Timing: This is the base timing (also referred to as idle timing) of the engine before the centrifugal

advance begins.

Centrifugal Advance: The centrifugal (or mechanical) advance mechanism is made up of weights, springs,

advance cams, and an advance stop bushing. The amount and rate of advance that your distributor is

capable of is determined by the centrifugal timing. If you ever wish to lock out the centrifugal advance,

refer to the centrifugal advance section.

Total Timing: This is the total of the initial timing plus the centrifugal advance added together. Example:

10° Initial + 25° Centrifugal = 35° Total Timing.

Note: MSD Distributors are supplied with the heavy (slow) advance springs and the 21° stop bushing

installed. This is to prevent detonation in certain applications. Review the information on pages 2-4

to determine the best advance curve for your application.
