I started a tune up before the Valentines' rallye by replacing the points, condenser and rotor. I also reset the idle speed, mixture and; /html/spridgets/2005-07/msg00309.html (7,577 bytes)
2. Re: Ignition timing (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Wed, 20 Jul 2005 11:04:53 -0700; For a 1275 with a Lucas 23D4 distributor the cam close period is 60 degrees +/- 3 degrees, open is 30 +/- 3 degrees. I did not find a dwell number for you. The stroboscopic ignition timing is 22 deg; /html/spridgets/2005-07/msg00320.html (7,893 bytes)
3. Re: Ignition timing (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Wed, 20 Jul 2005 18:39:20 -0700 (PDT); Wouldn't the dwell by definition be 45 degrees (=1/2 of a full cycle on one cylinder, or .5 x 360/4)? I must confess I just set the point gap and don't measure dwell. Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has t; /html/spridgets/2005-07/msg00337.html (7,139 bytes)

Re: Ignition timing (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Wed, 20 Jul 2005 21:00:38 -0500 reply-type=original with any abuse report; No, the dwell is the degrees of rotation that the points "dwell" in the closed position charging the coil. It could be done as you say, but there is no benefit to the points staying open any length; /html/spridgets/2005-07/msg00342.html (7,488 bytes)

Re: Ignition timing (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Thu, 21 Jul 2005 03:29:33 GMT j6L3V4be029954; I never really understood dwell either but 45 degrees would be for a V8 or something like that if I recall accurately. 60 is correct in accordance with "the book".

6. Re: Ignition timing (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Fri, 22 Jul 2005 21:21:56 -0400 reply-type=response; Well I used the dwell/tach on the 1275 and the points were right on at 62. Using the spec of 60 +/- 3. I was surprised and pleased. I traded the timing light for another with the advance dial. Set it; /html/spridgets/2005-07/msg00380.html (9,119 bytes)

So if need be you can pull the Pentronix and stick the points and capacitor back. Bob Kitterer 1960 Austin Healey Sprite (; /html/spridgets/2005-07/msg00383.html (7,389 bytes)

Re: Ignition Timing (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Wed, 3 Jan 2001 16:27:23 EST; The advance characteristics (both advance and how quickly it advances) of the standard distributor will not be suitable for a 276 cam.

10. Re: Ignition Timing (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Wed, 3 Jan 2001 15:16:54 -0800; Guy, Speed timing is covered in Vizards book and really is the way to go. If you have a timing light with the advance knob, it's real easy. Set the light to where you want full advance and adjust the; /html/spridgets/2001-01/msg00084.html (7,696 bytes)
11. Re: Ignition Timing (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Thu, 4 Jan 2001 00:51:58 -0000; I am a fan of Vizard, but don't find his chapter on ignition timing terribly helpful.
