290sp timing.

Workinprogress · Post by **Workinprogress** » Sat Feb 08, 2020 3:41 pm

Putting together an old motor, it has a 290sp camshaft and want to time it properly. Did quick search and can not find any hard numbers for it. Some people suggest any where from 104-106. Or do I need to wait for next week and try to contact Kent directly?
Thanks,
Bruce

All Kent timing figures are nominal, I would be looking 104-106degree inlet.
