1976 1500 with Weber downdraft. Instructions that come with it are pretty
much safe and no more. Expecting more, I got the instructions from
Gerardsgarage tech tips (Thanks Gerard) for tuning the weber. Expectations
of the Weber are back up. Great advice and very well written.
Under fine tuning, it says to reset the timing to match the additional power
output. It says to reset the ignition timing to 22-25 BTDC at 900-1000
rpm.. I am a little leery here. This entire instruction is titled for an
MGB. I don't know what the original ign. timing was. My 1500s original
timing was either 2 ATDC or 10 BTDC (depending on where you read).
I have adjusted my timing to 16 BTDC and I am impressed with the
performance, etc. My question - Is anyone running around with a1500 set at
22-25 BTDC? What kind of indications should I expect if I advance my timing
to far? Overheating??? Ping or knock?? (none yet) Run on (None Yet)
What is too far? 16, 22, 25???
TIA
