Re: Ignition seting
Jelonek, do you have a 1966 Olds Chassis Manual?
If so, look up ignition timing and go to the page listed. You'll see a photo of the timing pointer with each slot labelled. Basically they're in 5 degree increments with the top one being 10 degrees BTDC.
(notice the two punched out holes to the right? the top one is a "10", the bottom one is "0".

Re: Ignition seting
That's about right. The manual says 7.5 degrees BTDC. but unless you have a digital timing light, I don't know how you'd get it exactly at 7.5.
I've seen some timing lights that allow you to set the desired timing advance and then a light will come on when you get the distributor turned just right.
