Re: [T3] Pully


Jacob:

Whatever the marks on your pully, remember that, if you have the 009 and
a non-stock carb, you are going to have to figure out where to set the
timing -- you can't just set it by the book anymore.  General wisdom has
it that you should set it to a TOTAL advance of somewhere between 28 and
32 degrees BTDC, depending on how much you value performance vs.
longevity and fueÊây, and then see where if falls back to at idle.

Also, when figuring out where TDC is on your pully, remember that the
pully could be from any number of other models, with notches added by
previous owners, etc.  Get to know your engine.

The rest of you can add/detract from this if I've goofed up.
