[TR] Distributor Advance discission

[staffel]

Reminds me how I 'super tuned' my sisters' 63 Spitfire in the late 60s, early 70s: After installing new points ( think pts gap spec was .018) but if you set at that, they would close up ( too soon from initial breaking of points at cam contact ). So I would set at .020, and that way, after the initial wear. My sister would not get stranded while I was not available (SEAsia duty).However the final advance adjustment was turning the Lucas Wheel Advance adjustment 1/2 turn at a time till the top speed was 87mph. If the Speedo read 85 or 86, I tweeked the vernier till I got 87mph.So Randall again summarized well-' see what engine likes'!The fun days!  On my TR4, I upgraded to dual point Mallory Distributor. Inspected point gaps every month, re-adjusting to spec.
