I would like to know how people are setting the timing (and how much)  
on the TR3 and 4 motors with a Pertronix. Going by the book, timing  
is set statically at 4 degrees before TDC using the TDC mark on the  
pulley and adding 4 degrees at the distributor. Further refinement to  
be determined by road test.  Again, by the book, use of a timing  
light is not recommended.

I have a timing light that reads advance and retard which is  
necessary since there are not degree markings on the pulley.

So, with a stock TR4, how many degrees advanced at what rpm?

Thanks,

Allen
