[Healeys] BJ8 Timing

[Oudesluys]

There were marks on the distributor of the Triumph Spitfire I once 
owned. It is probably described in its manual.
As these Lucas distributors are basiccally all the same it may be safe 
to say that one turn of the knurled wheel stands for the same 
advance/retardation of all these distributors. This knurled or vernier 
nut was spring loaded and could be rotated with clearly noticable 
clicks, each click is one degree.
If you have a stroboscopic timing light it should be easy to check the 
in-/decrease in timing when you turn the vernier nut e.g. 5 clicks and 
work out the result for one click.
