[DeTomaso] FW: Name That Timing!

[jderyke at aol.com]

In my opinion, the sharp point of the timing pointer above is pointing at 9 degrees BTDC. In fact, no one knows for sure until someone positively locates TDC in the engine and adjusts the pointer as necessary. I've seen them be off due to bolthole slop, the outer ring of the harmonic balance shifting or other problems. But if the engine runs as expected and you're happy, drive it!  
Cheers- J DeRyke

  Assuming the timing light just fired, what does this picture show as
  the current timing?  Should I read this as 26 Degrees of advance or 9
  degrees of advance?
