Dear Gurus of all that is Triumph,
I have a stock October 70 Mk IV engine. Timing supposed to be set to 2 ATDC.
I have swapped in the distributor and dual SU's from a 68 MK III timing 
supposed to be 6 BTDC (if my memory seves).
Sooo the question is this:
Do I set it to 2 ATDC because timing is based on the camshaft????
OR
Do I set it to 6 BTDC because timing is based on the distributor and its 
advance curve?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Thank you in advance for your time and thoughts.
Keith
70 MK IV spit
