![]() ![]() If its out loosen the dizzy pinch bolt and turn it left or right and you will see the timing mark moving in advanced or retarded directions, go in the direction required to get to 11 btdc keeping an eye on the tacho, balance the tickover to the timing adjustments until it is ticking over at 1500 bang on and the timing at 11 btdc (or inline with the tdc mark if you have an advanced light remember). No problem, does your light have an advance setting and do you have a tacho on your car? If so remove the vacuum pipe from the dizzy and block the end coming from the carb with some insulation tape or similar, hook up the light black to earth, red to positive (I usually get on one of the fusebox spades) trigger around number one's ht lead (nearest the rad) start the car making sure no leads are going to get tangled up in the fan or alternator and adjust the tickover to sit at 1500 rpm, with your light set to 11 btdc point at the crank pulley and see where the notch on the pulley lines up in relation to the comb, you want it to be a tdc (top dead centre, usually a longer mark or prong on the crank case) as the advanced light is altering it for you, if its a standard light then the marker needs to line up with the 11 btdc mark on the comb instead as the strobe flashes and makes it look stationary.
