    Default Just where does the timing need to sit on the 308?

    Ive got a mate of mine saying its supposed to be 6 deg advanced, ive heard 10, ive had people tell me it has to be more/less cause of my LPG. So people of JC, where is my timing supposed to be sitting for a Black 308 on LPG? And yes its been cammed n so forth if that changes anything.

    Thanks blokes, there is a virtual Ice Coffee in it for u.

    6 degrees is about right for a std 308 i had 15 for mine on gas just remember that when it on petrol it may ping cause of the timing, my old vk was also duel fuel and i had it running on 7 as i wanted the best out of fuel as it was making the most power, and it was sweet yet my latest one pinged on the higher gas tuned setting hoping to installed a electronic timing controller for the car when i rebuild it as to get the best out of both fuel types
    if it doesn't have a lion in the badge it not worth having
