 Subject: Timing Mod?
IP: Logged
Message:
Ok, I've went to the krcperformance site and read the directions on how to do the timing advance mod, but I have a few questions before I attempt it. First off, I have a 92 3.9 and didn't know for sure if that mod is only for 2000 and up or not. The way they word it is funny. Second, is this mod worth it? I don't know just how many people have done this, but I would like to know the pros and cons of this.
Any knowledgeable replies welcome.

Yes it will work on your 92
What it does is advance your base timing giving
you about 3 degrees more across the entire rpm
band.
More lowend power and better gas milage is what
you will notice more than anything.
I have done it to many trucks even before KRC
put it on there website, It helps

So all you have to do is slot the holes in the sensor 3/8 inch and slide it to the passenger side as far as you can? Is this right?

Well on my bracket there isnt 3/8's of an inch to slot the bracket. There just isnt enought meat on the bracket. Whey the hell would they say to go3/8's of an inch when there isnt that much room I dont understand.

I have one more question. I have a Mopar Pcm in my 92 and that is supposed to raise the timing, so I was wondering if I did this mod, would it ping?? Anyone know??

It might ping with the mopar pcm not on a stocker
Be sure you pull out the rubber gromit in the hole
so the sensor will move
3/8 is just a guess go as far as you can

NOSDART68,
Hey man. I've done that too. I also did it before I saw it on krcperformance. When the mags came out I read everything I could on how they work. I did it out of old school thinking. The first time I moved it towards the drivers side not thinking about which way everything was spinning. Duh. I moved it back the way I should. Works great. Been driving with it for about 2 years with it like that and no problems yet.
Off topic. Did you get your valve cleaner problem fixed on that 440 yet?
Later,

Yes, as a matter of fact it is fixed. I had my father use the old school method of cutting notches in the flat tops in the motor and clean the shavings with a vacuum and q tips in the car. It's totally done now, just needs plates and insurance on it. Thanks for askin.
So no one know for sure if it will detonate? I guess i'll try it and find out. Thanks for your replies.
