ok guys... on the s14 tach... when you set your timing... is the 750 mark on the red mark? a nissan tech told me 750 is the one below 1000 rpms at the 900 mark..... and another mechanic told me its around the green mark... or does it matter aslong as its inbetween 900 and the one below it...? im confused.... can anybody help me out? thanks...

ps... i didnt show them on my awesome photoshop picture....

Idle is 750rpm, +/- 50rpm. Your tach is always at least 100rpm off, so anywhere near that is fine.

You need a real dwell meter to set your idle.
