I'm having problems with my timing also, but due to 'pinking' in the
engine of my TR4.
However what I have seem in a UK Moss catalog is the following - - with
the engine running at a fast idle speed, adjust the distributor to give
max RPM, then retard the timing to give a drop of 100 RPM in engine
speed.
I haven't tried this myself, but I probably will when the car comes out
in a couple of months time ! Anyone else tried this ?
