Chad, I set mine at 6 degrees BTDC, 42 degrees full advance.....the throttle body idle speed screw will be set at 1/2 turn to achieve proper idle, but then you will want to adjust one additional turn for drivability. I initiated this talk about hanging the timing on the 1.9 L motor. I have had this way for years. You will thank me again and again...... Malibu Tony...... ps: make sure all of your vacuum lines are in excellent condition......little ones and larger ones as well...and check the breather hose between the oil breather tower and the intake boot, it should not be collapsed.....
