Bentley outlines three techniques for =
adjusting the
ignition timing on p.28.42
(I miss the old test-lamp =
proceedure for the
type 2)
1. Disconnect temp sender and using VW =
tester 1367,
check timing at 2k-2500rpm :-(
2. Adjustment with TDC marker. Ignition =
timing
displayed directly on testor :-(
3. Adjustment with timing light. Notch =
on pulley
lines up with notch on case. :-)
I am using No.3.
Do I still disconnect the temp =
sender?
Do I still check at =
2000-2500rpm
Does anyone have an idea for sourcing =
power for my
timing light within the engine bay to save me running it all the way =
forward to
the battery.
In relation to my washing/starting =
problem, all is
well today. Just needed a thorough drying (3 days)
Will be looking for possible vacuum =
leaks in the
air intake system (whispy white smoke)
The fact that my hall sender plug was =
snapped at
the base probably meant that I drowned the inside of the distributor. =
This would
definately cause the majority of the problems I had. I will never
attach/disattach this plug again without firmly clasping the base for =
support.
Nothing like a good clean to find a few hidden problems
Thanks
