Re: joe reeves timing question
I think bigd was referring to idle timing, but the discussion was WOT timing, simply because the Reeves method was being discussed.
Cut him some slack.
I also think that most everybody that has trouble with the Reeves method is doing it incorrectly, mainly that they have not disabled QS properly. You must disable QS.
Joe put this WOT timing method together long before QS was added into the PP function. So, using his method exactly as written will cause problems, unless you disable QS.
As I have posted, I do both idle and WOT timing in a tank. The WOT is done with the engine running, simply disconnect the timing link from the timer base arm, and leaving the throttles CLOSED, advance the timer base manually. Check / set the WOT timing and re-attach the timer base arm. Never have to disable QS again.
