Thought it was very nice even if as Neil says it is not what I thought it was but then I thought Andy’s 904 was lovely too.

Re: Using a snap-on timing light

Thanks I have not yet seriously looked at the distributor but it may be rubber ducked in more ways than just the springs so I was thinking that it might be a good idea to get it rebuilt first. Any recommendations for someone to rebuild it? I will take the cap off and see if there is any obvious slop...

Re: Using a snap-on timing light

That sounds like a good plan.
Let me know what I need to do to lock the distributor as it is pre SC and I will then get the CDI+ to you to put on a map.

Re: Using a snap-on timing light

Rebuild the distributor or use your magic on my cdi+
It is an early model cdi+ and a pre sc distributor so perhaps not so easy

Re: Using a snap-on timing light

Thanks but sorry I still do not understand. I do not want to turn the distributor at all as I want to determine what is the current advance curve. The timing at 950rpm is set to 5atdc which I confirm by having no advance set on the timing light and the flash is on the 5atdc mark. If I now increase t...

Using a snap-on timing light

I have used a mt2261a snap-on timing light for years to confirm the timing to be 5degrees ATDC. This is straightforward. However I am trying to understand how I confirm the actual timing at 2000,3000,4000rpm etc. I use the tach/advance button to confirm the rpm to be 2000,3000 etc then the increase ...

Re: Your Porsche pic of the day......

That is a wonderful photo.
Although I can identify most of the cars I could not identify the car on the road at the far left of the photo by the two people.
Any ideas?
