timing question

[mluck]

i am a little confused on the timing marks on the motor.. where is 12 deg. btdc..if the marks are from 0 to 14..do i set the timing at 12 on the engine timing marks..for some reason it's just not sinking in my brain,could be spring fever.......

Yes...if you want the timing at 12* BTDC, then time it to the 12 mark on the timing bracket. That is assuming of course it is accurate.

speaking of timing.Ijust rebuilt an engine.It's a 242 jeep I6 but still an I6. Now would timing cause it to buck like it's wantin to jump out of the engine bay?Mostly between 0 and 45MPH but on hard acceleration it's not too bad and highway speeds it ain't too bad.

My money would be on poor fuel delivery. Timing usually just makes the engine feel strangled.

it was teh timing.The timing on a 94 jeep cherokee is controlled by the ecu we found out.We cut the tabs off of the dizzy so we could rotate it and it cleared the problem right up.
