First fire up.
Good day today on my Indy build. Finally got everything connected, turned the key, a few splutters and away she fired. Did notice that the exhaust was
glowing red after only a few mins, is this right?

If it's glowing red on idle the igntion timing could be to far retarded-or is it advanced, can't remember which way round, but not set
right anyway.
Cheers,
John.

I think I set the initial timing at 6 degrees and as I dont have a timming light yet what way should I turn the dizzy? This is on a 2lt pinto with
mild road cam.

Remove dizzy cap and spin engine on key, note which way rotor arm spins. Then loosen dizzy and turn same way(off top of my head think it's
clockwise) to advance timing. Think thats right.
If you are running a performance cam with a vernier power pulley this might explain why your original setting could be wrong.
Cheers,
John.

No, to advance the timing turn the opposite way to running rotation, turning it the same way will retard the timing even more.
