How to set initial timing on te72 3tc

[Supacold87]

I have a 3tc I've been trying to get running and with most of the other issues out of the way now I can't get the timing right to where it will idle smoothly I don't much about the engine except it was rebuilt before I bought it as a short block I have a weber 32/36 and that's all of the mods

Does anyone have diagram or instructions on how to set the timing on these?

Thanks bob that was very helpful but of course I have other issues now cylinders #1 and #3 have no compression at all #2 has 90psi which is also to low and # had 150 which are good numbers my guess is the valves need to be adjusted. Am I on the right track or am I S.O.L.

Make sure your valve lash is correct. Your the guy who bought push rods from me, correct? Hopefully you didnt bend some valves when your pushrods bent, or maybe thats why they bent.

yup that's me i dont think i did but would you happen to know how to set correct valve lash i have yet to find it in my search's but like you said i need to check and see if i bent anything.
