| | |  Boost timing retard adjustment question
I just got my 94 Cobra and it came with the MSD6AL with the boost timing retard adjustment.
I'm not sure, but I think that I can hear valve noise when accelerating. Should I try adjusting the timing retard? If so, how much?
As you can tell, I'm not familiar with this system.

Turn it to 3 and adjust down from there.

Is that what your running yours at? I have mine scaled back to 1 right now. Does this affect the performance?

What you think is valve noise could be detonation! How much boost are you seeing one the gauge, fuel pressue, timing etc???
