ok, i tried my dizzy and computer on the other car and comp runs it fine, so
ide say the dwell is ok, the dizzy turned out to be about 40 deg more
advanced for some reason.
i checked the cam timing at tdc and found that it is set on hole #3 on the
sprocket, #2 is the normal setting. what does this mean in relation to ign
timing?
should i just set it on #2 and go from there?
thanks again
andrew
