Re: type3-d Digest V2005 #638

<x-flowed>On some 1500S's the dizzy needs to be timed at under 700rpm (ie 
before the advance kicks in).
It's not enough to just remove the vac line, you need to remove 2 
plug leads to make it run this slow.

If you set it to 10 degrees at this speed, it shows 12.5 degrees 
(the LH mark)
when it's ticking over at 900rpm.

This was the mistake I made and why my 64 was missing so badly 
with the original dizzy refitted.
Timing it to 10 degrees at 900rpm was too retarded.

See the url below for details of the '64 only' dizzy.

Later dizzy's are also shown on this site.

Hope this helps.
Chris
