Mi16 cam timing

[allanallen 528 2 Cars]

hi, I’m putting my 1900 mi16 on bodies, it’s fitted with vernier pullies and when I originally built it Just set them up to whatever the standard pulleys were (no idea on numbers). As it was supercharged and made good power I’ve never looked at the timing again, thinking I might need to now!

 

Can anyone recomend any figures to time it up to? Preferably lift at TDC measurements as that’s my preferred method, good midrange would be preferable to a peaky screamer for the use it gets. Engine is Internally standard. 

 

Cheers all

I'd use 0.050" on the inlet and 0.032" on the exhaust. There is a table on this page.
