NB Miata, Need to set base timing?
#6
With my limited experience, it's more common that the outer ring of the damper slips than the fixed timing really being off.
So unless you really check the TDC mark, checking/changing the base timing can fool you.
It would be interesting to know how often a NB timing is more than 2-3 degrees off?

Post #76 has some details about what happened to me and my base timing experience. Without it set properly, it gave me hell for the last 2 weeks trying to start. I thought I had base timing set properly according to my TDC marks, but in reality I was 10* off. So during cranking, with crank advance set to 10*, it was actually at 20* advance... Not fun. And everywhere else in the timing table, I was 10* more than what it said.
Luckily, I use 93 octane and I am not running any boost so I didn't melt anything or had any pinging/pre-ignition.
After sorting all of this out, the offset is 5*
