Re: 383 STROKER<SPARK ADVANCE AT IDLE>?

What did he program it for? Did you ask? What cam are you running.... that would affect the idle spark advance? And what is the target idle speed?

Not sure why this is on Advanced Tech.

Re: 383 STROKER<SPARK ADVANCE AT IDLE>?

my suggestion with a hot cam would be 34 degrees of advance starting at 4000rpm and falling off to about 30 degrees of advance at 7000 rpm

Idle about 36 degrees

He's looking for advance at idle, for some reason. Anything from 10 to 20-degrees will work. Just depends where you see the greatest vacuum with that particular cam.

Re: 383 STROKER<SPARK ADVANCE AT IDLE>?

36* at idle may be a bit too much for a 383 with a hotcam, the fact that you ahve more cubes would mean you don't need as much advance, I would say about 24* at idle is a good start, see how you like it there, that advance would be good for a 350 with a hotcam, with a 383 it should be more then enough.
