[Healeys] Idle fixed

Ira- I would set the point to .016 as with wear, they will tend to
close. Setting in book is 14-16 (12 too little). If you are pinging
you need to advance the timing. I would set the knurl in the mid
position but put a timing light on the marks on the engine pully and
move it toward the left 1/8"(advance...away from TDC). You can then
drive it and possibly move the knurl knob to get better but it really
is an ornament. You will probably have to set the idle back to
900-1000 RPMS as it will want to go to 1200.
If that does not work, the weight springs in the distributor may be
shot. I would consider sending the unit to Advanced Distributor,
Jeff...he will make it perfect. Hank

 I made sure the rear cap clip was tight, points gap was .012, will
widen to .014 went for a drive in the country and burned about 60
miles of petrol. Car idled fine at road construction and stop sign
stops. I hear a bit of a ping, running ethanol free high test. Which
direction should I turn the knob on the distributor. I turned it
towards the engine when I was trying stuff. Should I just turn it
back, or go forward more? Thanks all. Nearly 80 today in north western
Oregon. Earliest fire warning season on record. This hoax is really
getting real
