Re: Timing a 36 120 Business coupe

I believe Gero's car has the 4 lobe dual point distributor. And James, your procedure is certainly the best way to get the timing as early as possible for the best vac at idle, but then back off if there is pinging at load in high gear up hill.
Thanks for the advice. I will relay to Gero.

-With these dual point distributors: I understand that one set of points is adjusted by rotating the distributor, and the second set is somehow adjusted by moving the points inside the distributor? Is that right?

-Then with the "fuel compensator" you can then add or subtract a few degrees advance accordingly.
-I Appreciate you all helping me help Gero.
