(score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Tue, 6 Oct 98 22:31:56 -0000; Fellow Listers: Why does the Bentley manual and most other specs I've read call for setting the idle timing of a 76 TR6 at 4 degrees ATDC when my car runs so incredibly well now that i've set it at 1; /html/triumphs/1998-10/msg00458.html (7,986 bytes)

Setting the timing further retarded sounds like a different problem to me. scott s.; /html/triumphs/1998-10/msg00504.html (8,248 bytes)

6. Re: TR6: Why, Why, Why??? (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Wed, 07 Oct 1998 23:46:29 -0400; Correct. Notice that the static timing is similar to most other cars. Only when idling is the vacuum retard working, which brings up that 4ATDC figure. Note that it's not all bad news. The late timin; /html/triumphs/1998-10/msg00524.html (9,659 bytes)
7. Re: TR6: Why, Why, Why??? (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Wed, 07 Oct 1998 23:54:48 -0400; Simply not true. The retard operates on manifold vacuum. When you floor it, manifold vacuum is zero, retard does nothing. Sorry, but it's a pet peeve when people remove smog equipment that they don't; /html/triumphs/1998-10/msg00525.html (8,884 bytes)
