TIMING FUNCTIONS
Before continuing with the installation, here are a few definitions you should be aware of:
Initial Timing: This is the base timing of the engine before centrifugal advance begins.
Centrifugal Advance:The centrifugal advance mechanism is made up of weights, springs, advance 
cam, 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:Thisis thetotalof the initial timing plus thecentrifugal advance added together. Example: 
10° Initial + 25° centrifugal = 35° Total Timing.
CHOOSING AN ADVANCE CURVE
The function of the advance curve is to match the ignition timing to the burning  rate of the fuel and 
speed (rpm) of the engine. Any factor that changes the burning rate of the fuel or the engine speed 
can cause a need for an ignition timing change. Figure 1 shows some of the factors that will affect 
engine timing.
