1970, 35 ? 55 HP Chrysler. Is setting the timing needed if the points are set and gapped correctly (with no pass issues)?
Hello Chrysler Pros,
1. Is setting the timing needed if the points are set and gapped correctly (with no pass power issues)?
2. I have tuned my 1970 35 HP Chrysler motor (changing or cleaning points) since 1985 and have never had a timing issue.
3. I have checked the timing using the static method and finally used a timing light to see if it was advancing (OK on both).
4. I?m trying to establish a point that timing should not be a problem if the points are set at the correct position and gapped correctly.
5. This is based on the engine has been running good with no timing linkage adjustment but there are known bad plugs and points (that are normal to wear).
6. I feel thinking we have to adjust the timing as we did with cars in the 60s/70s will cause more problems vs fixing a problem that does not likely exist. The dwell meter and timing light saved us then.
7. Please give you opinion on this matter. JOW
