Whilst most of you appear to be enjoying yourselves at Donnington, spare a thought for those of us who are garage-bound!
I am struggling with ignition timing - something that I have read up a fair bit on, but can't quite grasp. Can anyone help me with some simple explaining?
I think I've found TDC (lobes on the camshaft are facing outwards on cyl 1) but my rotor doesn't face the marked #1 point on the cap (is this normal?)
My car has hardly started since I got it so I've no reference point to be sure what is "right"
I'm in the process of installing a new EFI system so I can't fire it up to check just yet, but just seeing if my car is set up as it should be.
Pic below shows the rotor at roughly 9 o clock, where the #1 mark on the cap is at about 4 o clock
