Re: Set timing on 1924 Straight Eight Engine

Valve timing of 1924 "Packard Eight":
Intake valve opens 10 degrees AFTER dead center.
Intake valve closes 45 degrees AFTER dead center.
Ex opens 50 degrees BEFORE dead center.
Ex closes 5 degrees after DEAD CENTER.

fIRING ORDER 1-3-2-5-8-6-7-4

pERSONAL COMMENT: Thst is a very poorly contrived firing order to have used.

Edit: i have triple checked the above specs. They are correct with no typos.

Edit#2: The above specs assume that IN FACT your engine IS a 1924 (nineteen twenty four) engine.

Edit#3: Note that the intake valve timing is very short!! I've double checked a 4 th time from the Dykes manual copyrite 1926 and that's what it says.
