- Hi to all I am sure this has been covered to death over time, but could some one please confirm a couple of details regarding ignition timing. What is the general consensus on how much advance seems

- Please don't take this as gospel, but just another data point: with an engine of this vintage, provided the vacuum and centrifugal advances are working, the correct timing is the point at which you c

- Although many people use this method I have a good publication from Repco, of Repco Brabham fame, which suggests that this is not too wise as the over advance may not be apparent and can cause cranks

- While the book says 5 Degrees BTC, what you are really shooting for is proper full advance. With a 45 year old distributor you are likely dealing with an advance mechanism that is not working to ori

- OK, how do you make sure that the vacuum and centrifugal advance are working correctly? Also, how much "play" is acceptable in a distributor drive shaft? These are questions that have been on my mind

- To see if they're working at all, you can use a timing light. Without the vacuum advance connected, see if you're getting advance with increasing RPMs (centrifugal). Then, with a hand vacuum pump + t

- Hi Bob, The vacuum advance comes from a "ported vacuum" source. This means that the vacuum takeoff point on the carb is slightly downstream (outboard) of the throttle butterfly. There is no vacuum on
