96 gm 350 now a stroker engine timming set at 14 deg at idle.runs great from idle to full power any less advance the motor dogs tb 5 ign system I tried setting the timming using mercury instructions to the letter grounding the purple/white wire & set the timming to merc specs . when I disc the ground It had no effect on the timming the at all The problem w/ the timming at 14 deg is it trashes the starter drives Is it true that the ign module should hold back the timming until the motor is up and running ? Is it possible that I need to get a different module for a stroker engine? also I am getting no ping or chatter during operation. Jim

Re: trashing starters

Starter drives should have nothing to do with your initial timing setting, however IMHO 14 deg to make it run, something is out of whack. As far as the starter drive????
