I got my '73 2 litre just over a month ago and I believe there are at least 3 ways to set the 27 deg.BTDC mark to line up with the fan base mark. My experience with 105 series Alfas is; the closer to the mark, the "sweeter" the engine runs.
I have tried timing it @3500 rpm with the vac advance hose connected, disconnected and disconnected with the hose plugged. Of the three I have found the latter gives the sweetest response. How do you accurately time your "baby"? Geoff. |

Thanks for the input fellers, I was wondering about pulling the vac. retard hose as well, now I know.
Another point; I notice that when cold the dwell is at 44 deg. when hot 48 deg. If I rev the motor hot or cold the dwell is stable, less than 1/2 a deg. variation. Is this normal? |
