Good Afternoon Everyone I want to be clear on some simple timing procedures involving, Dwell, RPM, Advance. I started tweaking my timing this weekend due to heavy pinging during load on my 67 Fasty. It started and idled fine, I had set the timing @ 7 1/2 BTDC with the engine warm and the vaccum hose disconnected but once it warmed up I experienced heavy pinging so today at a local swapmeet I got a dwell meter. I had set the dwell to specification with a feeler gauge but once I checked it with the meter I got today I noticed that according to the TM I was setting it at about 33. The TM specified 42-54 so I forgot about the feeler gauge method and decided to go with the reading on the meter as the engine was running. After I did this I rechecked the timing and set it at 7 1/2 BTDC, the RPM at 850 RPM between synching the carbs. I have not yet tried it but I am in a bit, can anyone shed some light on this for me. Thank You David 67 Baltic Blue Fasty Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD PS I saw this really nice 73 (THING) today on my way back from the meet, is nice to see other VW on the road every now and then besides mine. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ Shameless link for search engines: http://listarchive.type3.org ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
