I have been going threw threads on timing lights and timing. When I started I believed that retarded timing would show up on the timing light further to the left away from the tdc mark. Now I'm seeing sighted examples of the opposite. Where it's being stated as retarded but moving to the right closer to tdc.
I also thought that 15° was more retarded than 10° meaning that it sparks 15° before top dead center and that 10° meant it sparks 10° Btc so the timing is more advanced at 10°.
Idk maybe because it's late for me and I've been doing allot of reading, I am very confused. If someone can lay it out in simple terms I'd appreciate it. I thought it was simple until I started reading.
I might wake up and it makes sense but right now everything I thought I knew about timing is coming up backwards in my research.
