VE pump timing marks
Question guys. I'm trying to bump my timing 1/8". It looked as tho there was not enough adjustment to do that so I took a nut off and sure enough there's not. The chisel marks on the pump and cover housing is in line and the pump is rolled fully towards the engine. Do you think someone timed the pump wrong??

Depending on the application/year, not all will be timed to the same degree. At least, I know with the ppumps they aren't. I assume the same is possible on VEs.
Mine ran good and gave fantastic mileage with it one tooth advanced and all the way away from the head. Now it is + 1 tooth and all the way to the head and the power increase is pretty substantial but it doesn't get as good fuel mileage.
I think the happy medium is somewhere between the 2 for me.
What I'm getting at is getting it right will just take time. There is no one answer for all. If it is all the way to the head try jumping a tooth and pulling it all the way away from the head and slowly tune/advance it until you like how it runs.
