I have only had experience using John Muir's static timing method with VW's, so am not used to the strobe light procedure for the 914. So, I have a number of questions:
1) To get a starting point, using a static timing light or voltmeter, what's the static timing mark to use with a '74 2.0 engine - 5º or 7.5º? 2) Before using the strobe light, some instructions say to remove the vacuum hose from the distributor, others say to remove AND plug it with something. What's correct? And, if I plug it, do I plug the hose end or the connector to the distributor, or both? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Thanks. |

The #2 plug? That doesn't sound familiar. Is it on the carb manifold, or coming out of the head, or something else? If it's coming out of the head, then it's for the Positive Crankcase Ventilation system.

That hose doesnt appear to go anywhere after that. It just goes into the cover it looks like.  |
