Re: Jeep CJ 258 Acceleration Issues. Please Help!
You think 9 degrees for full centripetal advance is too much????
The internal advance weights are full out at 1600 rpm on mine.
If it pings there it need a decarbon job which is easy to do.

Re: Jeep CJ 258 Acceleration Issues. Please Help!
You know I never thought about that sticker being for the ford
emissions computer, and I just set it at that because I read when I
setup the TFI to set it at 9 degrees and looked at the sticker and it
said at 1600.
So you would recommend to set it at 9 degrees BTDC with vacuum line off
at idle or somewhere around this?
Yes, I set mine at full advance then. Nice.
Thanks again for all you help.

setup the TFI to set it at 9 degrees and looked at the sticker and it
said at 1600.
So you would recommend to set it at 9 degrees BTDC with vacuum line off
at idle or somewhere around this?
Yes, I set mine at full advance then. Nice.
Thanks again for all you help.

Re: Jeep CJ 258 Acceleration Issues. Please Help!
You know I never thought about that sticker being for the ford
emissions computer, and I just set it at that because I read when I
setup the TFI to set it at 9 degrees and looked at the sticker and it
said at 1600.
