<DIV>Just a caution that if you are using of of the newer “digital” timing
lights with this set up you are likely to have problems. </DIV>
<DIV>I have a new Pertronics distributor, flame thrower coil, and neg. earth on
my 67 BJ8</DIV>
<DIV>I decided to buy a decent quality Innova 5568 modern digital timing
light.</DIV>
<DIV>Phew - lots of problems and the light would not move as it was supposed
to.</DIV>
<DIV>Eventually had to get complete set of new plug leads just to get it to sort
of function.</DIV>
<DIV>Unit went back 3x and even today is a mystery if it will work or not.</DIV>
<DIV>It is ultra sensitive to noise and position of the magnetic pick up on plug
#1</DIV>
<DIV>Moving it and inch can make the unit inoperable and erratic.</DIV>
<DIV>The manufacturer is also at a loss and not able to cure the problem for me
.... grrr</DIV>

<DIV class=moz-cite-prefix><BR>Start the engine and let it idle until warm or
drive a few miles to that purpose.<BR>Set the idling speed at around
800-900rpm.<BR>Set the dial to the required advance at idling with the vacuum
line attached (see your workshop manual). Connect up to the battery and position
the clamp on Nr.1 plug lead.<BR>Loosen the distributor clamp.<BR>Set the
distributor to TDC on the marks.<BR>Tighten the clamp, not to
tight.<BR>Recheck.<BR>It is that simple.<BR><BR>WATCH OUT though for moving
parts like the fan and water pump/dynamo pulleys/belts.<BR>Kees

<DIV>Hello ,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have a 1966 bj8.......I have just replaced my original Lucas
distributer with a new Pertronics distributer .........I turned the engine
until the pointer was on the tdc mark on the pulley (on the compression
stroke) and put the rotor pointing at the #1 spark plug in the dist.
cap................NOW what do I do? I have a timing light with the degree
dial on the back,...............what are the next steps to set the timing
correctly?? do I plug the vacuum, what degrees,do I have to start the
engine??? etc.................................sorry for all the
questions</DIV>
