DearmanKE Posted April 13, 2008 Report Posted April 13, 2008 i change my timeing by ear, and testing, like turn the dizzy till it sounds like its running quite smooth, and idleing a little high, thne take it for a test drive if it pings (sounds like rocks in ur motor when u accelerate) then retard timeing a little and try again, atm my car pings but only when i load it up heaps, such as useing a high gear up a hill. if u have access to a timeing light then use it u hook it up to lead number one and to the battery, then shine it at the limeing markings and turn the dizzy as iuts idling until the marking lines up where you want it to. This is the settings for a 3K (sorry thats all i could find)Firing order: 1342 Points Gap: 0.016-0.020inch Timing: 8deg BTDC Hope this helps a bit thumbs_up_trans.gif Cheers Dougy cool.gif cheers for that, i don't know if ill even set it, it seams to be running well just after setting it by eye, oh and i f@$ked around with my mixture abit today, like wound it in then backed it out abit, i stil don't think its set right, i need a screwdriver rather than useing my fingers lol Quote
