The Haynes manual says that for my 1967 B the timing should be set to 14
degrees advanced at 600 RPM with the vacuum advance disconnected.
Does anybody else have a problem getting their car to even keep running at that
low an idle speed? I need my B to idle at least 1000 RPM to get any sort of
smooth running out of the engine, and really 1500 is better.
Can somebody please give me a guideline on the proper advance for timing at a
higher RPM ¯ or does the idle speed even matter?
Thanks, as always I appreciate the time the experienced listers take to educate
the rest of us.
