Hello all, been lurking in the background for a while, whilst slowly rebuilding my 72 Square. Finally got it to the road-going stage and now have a question about timing. I have the dual vacuum type distributor on my dual carb engine (probably not the 1972 original). The distributor number is 311 905 205T. I've tried to confirm the timing settings for this distributor without much luck. I found one reference which said 5 degrees ATDC and another that suggests 7.5 degrees BTDC. With such a wide range of options, I'd like a third opinion please! I looked on www.oldvolkshome.com/ which has an excellent listing of just about every bosch distributor except mine. I suspect it's biased towards the USA and doesn't cover the UK. Can anyone help me out with a definite answer for this distributor? I'm timing it dynamically at idle with both hoses on at present. regards Craig Webb ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
