This question has come up a few times with no certain answers on timing for idle for a 2006 carbed 350 with Mallory unilite dist. I had a lot of work done recently that involved new plugs, wires, re-set timing, etc. Before the work I was happy with my 1-1.1 mpg that fastJeff was helpful enough to steer me into. Now, I'm back to .8mpg. No Barnacles, but some slick algae on the bottom, props are spotless. My concern is that the mechanic set my timing at 12deg at idle, and that sounds too advanced for me. No spark knock when close to WOT, but my efficiency went backwards. Any thoughts?
