1. [Healeys] Static Timing a Pertronix Ignitor (score: 1): Author: simon.lachlan at homecall.co.uk (Simon Lachlan); Date: Sat, 11 Feb 2017 00:21:06 -0700; We?re talking about an Ignitor ie NOT an Ignitor II. In a positive earth BJ8. The timing may be all to hell. I?m in the UK; the car?s in Paris. Let?s say that the clamp bolts ?may somehow have got lo; /html/fot/2017-02/msg00168.html (10,592 bytes)

[Healeys] Static Timing a Pertronix Ignitor (score: 1): Author: coudesluijs at chello.nl (Oudesluys); Date: Sat, 11 Feb 2017 13:02:04 +0100; Set the crankshaft at the desired static ignition timing. Set the distributor housing with the rotor in the approximate position of no.1 cylinder on its compression stroke, then slightly back. Switch; /html/fot/2017-02/msg00173.html (12,452 bytes)
3. [Healeys] Static Timing a Pertronix Ignitor (score: 1): Author: michael.oritt at gmail.com (Michael Oritt); Date: Sat, 11 Feb 2017 16:32:59 -0500; I am probably showing my ignorance on ignition theory but I have never understood the concern with static timing versus dynamic (total) timing when the car is running. Since the amount of centrifugal; /html/fot/2017-02/msg00178.html (14,184 bytes)
4. [Healeys] Static Timing a Pertronix Ignitor (score: 1): Author: YNOTINK at msn.com (WILLIAM B LAWRENCE); Date: Sun, 12 Feb 2017 01:40:31 +0000; I think that back in the day not everyone had a timing light so the manufacturers used static timing because that was a good starting point to fine tune the engine. You could then get closer to the o; /html/fot/2017-02/msg00179.html (12,856 bytes)
5. [Healeys] Static Timing a Pertronix Ignitor (score: 1): Author: bspidell at comcast.net (Bob Spidell); Date: Sat, 11 Feb 2017 20:50:17 -0800; I haven't done this--and my engine is elsewhere so I'm working from feeble memory--but I THINK this'll work, if the distributor has been installed correctly: 1) turn the engine to TDC on the #1 cylin; /html/fot/2017-02/msg00180.html (12,558 bytes)
6. [Healeys] Static Timing a Pertronix Ignitor (score: 1): Author: simon.lachlan at homecall.co.uk (Simon Lachlan); Date: Sun, 12 Feb 2017 04:51:22 -0700; In this instance, static timing would precede dynamic timing because the car was so far out of tune that the engine would not run. In my thinking, static is only used to get the timing onto the right; /html/fot/2017-02/msg00181.html (13,051 bytes)
7. [Healeys] Static Timing a Pertronix Ignitor (score: 1): Author: coudesluijs at chello.nl (Oudesluys); Date: Sun, 12 Feb 2017 18:15:58 +0100; Not quite, setting the static timing was the only means at the time and the instructions should be accurate. Nowadays it is more convenient to set the timing dynamically, but without vacuum and at st; /html/fot/2017-02/msg00182.html (17,716 bytes)
8. [Healeys] Static Timing a Pertronix Ignitor (score: 1): Author: bspidell at comcast.net (Bob Spidell); Date: Sun, 12 Feb 2017 12:18:31 -0800; "... The vacuum advance/retard, if fitted, is only in operation at low load." This is something I've wondered about. This is true for 'manifold' vacuum, but the vacuum pickup off a Healey's SU carbs; /html/fot/2017-02/msg00187.html (10,401 bytes)
