[T3] Correct timing for a particular distributor


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
