I need to set ignition timing on a '74 1.8 that has a mallory dual-points mech adv distributor. Model # of mallory distrib is 2354101, in case it matters to someone.
Anybody have tips on how to set timing on this setup, assuming the rest of the engine is basically stock? Prior to any attempts to set timing, I plan to replace both sets of points, condenser, and adjust the dwell. Thanks in advance for any help |

The range of advance is adjustable on that distributor with a key that was available from Mallory. I have one that I converted to a Pertronix II... I think I set the advance to a total of 16 degrees..... 12 degrees of initial advance plus 16 for a total of 28 degrees.
