Question: 1993 350 TBI, what direction do you turn the distributor to advance timing?

Why would you do that? Just out of curiosity?

Counter clockwise.

Some feel that it adds a little more umph to TBI trucks. I have no first hand experience so I can't comment.

Ok. Have a buddy that is complaining of no power up hills and he recently replaced the distributor. So I'm doing his timing and going to put it a little advanced (4-6 deg).

The only one i ever advanced ran hot afterwards. I set it back at 0°. Best to set it to spec and leave it alone.

And still be streetable? You better have a big bank roll.

It's actually very streetable. Just changing out the cam, changing to roller rockers, as well as a new valves. Already at 460 hp so the extra 40 is gonna cost me around 1500

SAATR just to let you know, this engine of mine is far from the stock 350. Every piece has been upgraded. I'm not gonna deny that it wasn't cheap, but it's a hell of a lot better than spending money on drugs
