Getting timing right... how to?
Hi all...
very happy now that the new Red Top is in and running, but the exhaust is v. hot, and there is some run on after I switch the ignition off....
Not been out for a run in it yet (got to put the electrics and steering back together!), but my guess is that the timing is a bit out - I set it to 10
deg BTDC as best as I could with a timing wheel - but does it sound like it could do with going back a bit, and how do I best get it right?
Thanks! By the way running a pretty much standard dizzy...

The 20XE never came with a distributor that controlled timing (just did spark distribution and cam phase), are you using one from an 8V Cavalier?

Ah - yes, effectively an 8v cav one, but got a reconditioned one...
