daver clasper Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Hi everyoneHave just bought a powerspark ignition kit for vitesse 2litre mk1. Is there a way of setting timing without light as not got one. info says it will run after fitting and maybe a couple of degrees out. can I adjust be ear at idle, until it has highest rpm and smooth running by advancing/redarding dizzy.Any advice much appriciated.CheersDave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 As above, but drive it under load (high gear, slight incline, not fast) and see if the engine pinks. If not, advance until it does. That is too much, so back it off until it just stops. That is the most accurate way of setting the timing, as the distributor will not be "factory fresh" and todays fuel is rather different. I have had one car checked on the rolling road, and indeed it was correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
