Hi all -
I'm attempting to make my recently acquired 1963 TR 4 with ZS CD175 Carbs
pass a emissions test in the State of Idaho. (The car is titled as a '65,
thus forcing me to go through the process, '65 is the cut off year).
To do so I'm going to through a tune up of the engine, i.e. ignition timing
and carb adjustment
I want to confirm my points setting with a dwell reading & the timing with a
timing light (engine has 82,000 miles and I can't imagine static timing will
hit the mark).
Does anyone know the Dwell reading I should be looking for to confirm the
points are set appropriately? Everything on the engine is stock.
Also, when checking / setting the timing with the timing gun, I was planning
on disconnecting the vacuum advance and shoot for TDC at Idle. Is this
correct, or is there a better way to set it up?
Thanks much for the help!
Kind Regards,
Dylan
