Hello all. I will be hooking up tho good old timing light to the new
TR7, and verify the timing. It has a somewhat rough idle, and idles at
1000-1200 rpm, and refuses to go down. We'd like to verify the timing
before we adjust idle speed. Now for the weird stuff. My car is a
1981, with the AC/Delco Combined Coil/Amplifier Assy. Now I know that
this car should have an AC/Delco distributor to go with this unit, but
it doesn't! It has a Lucas 47DM4 Distributor, hooked up to the Delco
amplifier/Coil! The distributor looks brand-new. What should the
timing settings be on this unit (static or otherwise)? 10BTDC? I don't
need to get the car through emissions (exempt with collectors plates,
hopefully!) so can I advance it even more, to get better performance?
The distributor appears to be at it's maximum end of adjustment, so if
thetiming DOES need to be adjusted, what do I do? I have no adjustment
left in the unit!
Thanks
Brian
