1976 CJ5 258. MC2150 carb, PSC steering, Team Rush upgrade, 1 piece rear axles, all electronics relayed. Coming soon: Herculined tub, camo paint- and a bunch of filthy, muddy kids!
Hey guys, I'm tuning up my '76 AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l , does anyone here know what degrees is the standard for my timing?

It shouldn't make any difference but I'm running a ford ign system with vacuum advance.

Thanks guys.

My 78 is 8.5 degrees at idle. Does the Ford have more advance than the AMC distributor?
