Weber and Timing

Anybidy running a Weber progressive and headers discovered the best timing setup? I probably can find it but maybe someone has already done the legwork. Thanks!

'84 CJ and the ubiquitous 258\5 sp. Does Nutter apply here? I have zero emissions connected but the computer is still attached to the distributor. Thanks for the advice.

Yup, that is why I asked.

The computer goes into 'limp home' mode and clamps down on the timing.

I just add two new wires when doing the Nutter rather than mess around inside the wiring harness.

It is easy, the orange and purple wires at the distributor get connected directly to the orange and purple at the ignition module, then you set the timing up.

My 258 seems to run the best at 9 deg with a ported vacuum on the advance. I get great power and mileage running with 91 octane. If I run 87 octane, I drop at least 100 miles per tank on mileage.

I seem to do ok for power on mid grade fuel too, but haven't done a proper mileage test using it yet.
