200 TIMING QUESTION

[Anonymous]

HELLO FRIENDS, COULD ANYONE TELL ME WHAT THE TIMING SHOULD BE FOR MY 200 ? I HAVE A TIMING LIGHT. I JUST GOT THROUGH REPLACING MY DAMPER. ANY TIPS WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
THANKS,
JOHN

Howdy John:

IIRC the '67 200 calls for 8 degrees of initial for a standard trans and 12 for an auto trans.

For a bit more power and economy you might like to try 12 if standard or 15 if auto.

Be sure to disconnect and plug the vacuum advance line when setting the initial timing. Be sure to reattach the vacuum line when finished setting the initial advance.

Adios, David

THANKS DAVID, IM NOT MUCH OF A MECHANIC. THE VACUUM ADVANCE LINE- IS THAT THE ONE GOING FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE CARB?
THANKS

easiest way to find it is to look at the distributor and pull it from there
from what i remember, mine's on the side of my carb, might be different for yours

THANKS FELLAS, I THINK I FIGURED IT OUT BUT THE STRANGEST THING IS THE SCALE GOES TO 12 BUT BY SOUND I SET IT TO APROX. 15 OFF SCALE. ANYTHING BELOW 12 IT JUST SPUTTERS.
