Car is a 1973 2.0 with a single Weber carb and the James Bond 009 distributor. I know, dual carbs coming soon (not going back to factory FI) and not my favorite distributor. She also has Pertronix electronic ignition.
I am heading to the shop soon to adjust the timing and valves but have plugs (NGK BP6ES/7333), Beru wires and 009 cap/rotor on hand and ready to install. What is the gap for the plugs? What are the settings for timing with a single carb setup? Would you install the plugs now before timing and valves are adjusted? I don't want to foul a brand new set on the drive to the shop. How about pre-installing the other parts before the trip to the mechanic? Thanks guys! -Chuck |

Freshly gone through and were only used very little before being removed. No time on them since going through? |

Set the timing at 27 degrees before TDC at 3500 rpms and you'll be good.
Adjust the valves first since they need to be cold to set them. Install the plugs and then start it up. Look around for a good used stock djet dizzy as they work way better than a 009 with its limited advance curve. |
