Hey all,
My ride is sounding like it wants to start, but I need to know some info that I don't have in my book.
Things to check:
-Where should I statically time it?
-What order do the plug wires go on the dizzy?
-What direction does the rotor turn, CW or CCW?

I may have missed something, but I know I have spark and that I have been able to adjust the dizzy so that at least one cylinder was hindered upon ignition. I need to re check my wire4s fro sure, but I am looking for some difinitve info.

Thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif)

Im not used to a 2.7, but you'll need 5-10deg btdc @ idle and 35-40deg @ speed for a single plug. The 911 factory workshop manuals (you have those right? If you don't, send me an email;) describe the 2.7 advance curve. What year / spec motor do you have?

Here is probably the closest one (note the axes are for DISTRIBUTOR - double both for the crank advance and speed)

So, if you started @ 5-10deg at the crank, it will give right on 30 deg advance = 35-40deg total at >6000rpm.
