i am about tune up my 74 2.0 engine w/ dual weber 40,s (stop laughing), believe it has a stock cam. valves are adjusted, points set, will set the dwell and then there is my question.
on the pelican site there are 2 ways of timing the engine 27o btdc @ 3500 rpm,s and 34-35o btdc @ 3200 rpm,s, the second way is specifically for carbs. is this the one i should use?
thanks
Rich, as Rich T says, start at 27 deg - you need to get the dizzy fully advanced - if its a 009 it will be at 3500 rpm - then road test, go up slowly until about a max of 32 unless you know you have a wild cam - i'm running 32 at 3500 on my setup which is a big bore with the same carbs and 009 , at sea level ( san diego = nyc!) and she is sweet!
