Hi,
Try going to the website but up one level in the path to http://www.landrover.ee/est/varia/downloads/
You will find a whole load of extra pages including one for gearboxes including the LT77 and R380.
Great find guys!
Craig.

Range Rover Timing
Brooky
For a 3.5 V8 Range Rover the timing depends on whether fuel injection or carbs, what fuel you are running on and if fitted what type of fuel injection
you have.
If you give me more details I'll look it up in my Haynes manual.

Its running on carbs, think they are stromberg but cant be 100% at the minute.
Cheers.

If it has electronic ignition and is a june 84-86 then the static timing is 6 degrees BTDC.
87 carb model 6 +/- 1 degree BTDC at 750rpm max (vacuum pipe disconnected) (on 4 star)
If its older than this let me know the distibutor serial number as they vary between 3 and 7 degrees BTDC (quoted on 91-93 octane fuel).
I'm afraid I only have the unleaded settings for a fuel injected engine.

Haynes quotes for 91-93 octane fuel. The serial number of the distributor is likely to be 41680a or 41681a. The static timing and dynamic at idle
speed are 7 degrees BTDC for the 80a and 5 degrees for the 81a.
