I am going to get the timing on my 95 "checked" Whats the best place to have it set? Is 16° good? or should it be more? 17°?

I am not going to be going bomb crazy , not yet anyways.

I know it has slipped from stock, just from driving the truck.

I wouldn't go over 16° for sure.. I think 15.5° would probably be a nice spot with most mods.. IMHO of course.

15.5 on both my '95s works excellent

JKM

15.5 it is then!

Thanks alot fella's.

I would go 16.5. Mine loves 17.5 but I have done some other stuff

Bill I heard that timing advances really help the old 160 pumps like mine...what should i expect when i leave Garmon's diesel on saturday? im gonna have them do it to 16 degrees...i got the stock plate a hair forward...will i see a difference...timing has never EVER been done since the factory

You would notice a egt drop if ya had gauges.. You will notice a little more power and a little better mpg. You can slide your plate almost all the way forward bring it back a 1/16th. Then crank the starwheel a few clicks forward. You want smoke for your stacks dont ya??? Then build a adjustable boost controller. You will have some fun.. For a while

Your '95 will also run a little quieter with the advance.

I think i might be able to play around with the timing some , i found a used timing kit for sale. If i can figure out how to do the work myself , i'll be all set.

Does anyone know what a new timing kit is worth?

mr T

i think they go for around 200-250$

JKM

Where can they be had?

mr T

snap-on is the only one i can thin of right off the bat...its on their website...there are others im sure

Well , after some searching i found it :

Includes everything except the barring tool , which is another 70 bucks.

The kit i found for sale is lightly used , miller tools, includes the barring tool , DV socket , dial indicator , etc , but no gear puller. and it is 100$ us

I'll just order the gear puller when the snap on guy drops by work on friday.

I have heard that 15.5 for an auto is good.

Mine is a stick and set at 16.5
