Okay wanted to run one more thing by y'all. After everything is said and done o my timing at idle is actually 12 degrees.. this is a raw water system so of course the garden hose is hooked up to it... It seems if I mess with the dizzy and try to get the degrees any lower than that it feels tight... From what I'm reading 12 degrees is okay?

Your instruction sheet for that distributor should say it has 24 degrees of mechanical advance on top of the initial advance
So............24 plus 12 equals 36 degrees total at high RPM Probably right on the ragged edge of being too high in a big heavy boat. That's assuming you got TDC correctly figured out and marked by MrMcD's directions, It might be worth checking your TDC mark , and also that you have the right degree scale #1 or 6 at TDC the mark on the damper should be at the zero on the degree scale |

Just thought I'd mention that if you're turning the timing down, the idle will want to slow down and you'll have to adjust the idle speed to compensate

Thank you again guys yeah idle to compensate make sense.
I'm not a 9.9% sure I am on TDC... I think the idle drop and make me think it was going to kill and I was doing the wrong thing. So knowing it is TDC I will back it off and play with it some more |

Well boys timing is down to 8 degrees and idle.. The RPMs at idle at 600. Start smoothly. No backfires etc ....the exhaust sounds deeper than it ever has. Which leads me to believe my timing has always been off since it has never been set with a light..
