Some was as much as eight degrees different. This can make a big difference on how one acts and lt1s are not the easiest engine to check the timing on.
if you want to achieve proper base timing with your distributor-opti-thing, i can help with that.
just like you would do on a normal distributor car, you can lock your timing advance electronically to a value using eehack's 'raw' button at the bottom.
... i didnt make a real control for full timing advance override since that'd be kind of dangerous if you use it accidentally, but the command is there
pretty sure this locks it to 10 degrees but you'd have to test it. you can have the datalog screen open at the same time to confirm it's done.
Code:
0400000000000000000000010A
(change the last two digits to the hex of the timing advance you want, for example 05 for 5 degrees or F for 15 degrees. i guess if your engine will stay running with 00, that'd save you using a degree wheel.)
then mark your crank to whatever value you picked and use a timing light. if you don't lock your timing advance in place i bet it'll be damn near impossible to get that thing timed properly.
