Just set/confirmed my 2.0 timing.
Vac hose from distributer removed and plugged/2800rpm/28 degrees. It runs good, how do you how/how can you tell when it's "right" or optimal? That magic balance between power and efficiency..... |

While playing with the timing on a Megasquirt injected Type IV, we found that anything over the 28 degrees specified in the manual resulted in a loss of horsepower and torque.
Those German engineers seem to know what they are doing. |
