Re: [T3] ignition troubleshooting

That's exactly right. Ignition does not fire at TDC, it varies.

=> difference in the timing?

Probably, since advance varies with the different distributors. Again, check
your total advance. My experience with the 009 has been that it gave me
about 20 degrees full out, so if you time at 7.5 BTDC you can expect total
advance of about 27.5, and this should be fine at sea level. But definitely
check it -- build quality varies pretty widely on the 009s. (And again, I
don't recommend that anyone use this distributor in a Typ 3 if you can avoid
it -- it sucks.)
