Tuning a stock 3k

[celica gt-t]

Could someone please tell me,

* At what degree btdc should a stock 3k engine fire number one cylinder?
* What distance is the the points gap?
* What are the clearences for intake and exhaust under rockers.
* Any advice on stock carby. To get a reasonable idle speed and smooth running.

Timing at a guess would be 10 degrees before and points gap you could probably get away with 16 thou. Have you tried looking around the net?

I'll be home in about 10 days (April 1st) and I am pretty sure that I have a tuning manual for the old corolla's, and should have the tune up specs. If you haven't found out by then send me a PM and I will look it up for you.

10deg BTDC, but 10-15 should be ok unless you are using low octane unleaded.
points gap.. 0.2-0.4mm.. just set for 0.3mm
rockers, 0.2-0.3mm (maybe 0.2-0.25 for intake and 0.25-0.3 for exhaust)
i usualy run them a bit tighterm but it depends on your cam base circle etc.. aim for 0.2-0.25mm?

umm..clean carby helps. set the float level.. after that, it is just fiddling wiht the idle mixture and idle speed..

new/clean spark plugs help. for stock, heat range 5 (in NGK) is good.

What OC said but set the timing to 15' BTDC

Orig factory said 7 or 8 and was then revised and memos sent to all dealers stating 15'

they go much better there!!
