What should the total timing be on a TBI?
Adjust the timing light to find the total timing. It should be between 32-36 degrees for premium gas… 30-32ish for regular. If you’re above 36 degrees, go back and reset your inital timing back a few degrees.. if it’s below 32, bump it up a hair and try it again.
