There is Max Advance Spec, and a Primary Pickup Timing Spec. but there is no Idle Timing Spec.
What is the Engine's Serial #?

Set primary pickup to 0-9*ATDC, and max spark advance to 21*BTDC. Those are standard for V6 carb Mercs.

0d050915 it was a efi magnum based off the serial number but I am not the original owner and I’m guessing some one has changed it over to carb
