I think I've seen this diagram elsewhere, too, but I'd forgotten that the 
change was this much. That's 180 crankshaft degrees, which is 90 dist shaft 
degrees.

There WAS a change in the trigger points starting in '70, but it was just a 
construction detail and had no effect on timing. The timing change was done 
strictly by rotating the FI trigger cam on the distributor shaft.
