ty my little bro said 22 degrees

If it's high performance it more than likely has much higher compression, thus not needing as much timing.

Did you check to see if your getting spark from the coil?

15 degrees is to much 12 degrees is best

@tinahiheels Performance motor. needs more advanced timing than 12..

Sometime 12 degrees but most of the street performance engines for the small block Fords like 15 degrees.
