Re: [T3] First time timing

["Dave Hall" <dave@hallvw.clara.co.uk>]

T 0 690 001 is Aug '69; T 0 805 013 is July '70.  Numbers are
sequential, so T 07 ... is approximately between Sept '69 and the
end of June '70.

Factory quoted timing for this engine is 0 deg with hose on, which
implies vacuum retard, doesn't it?  My twin-carb engine worked quite
well with static timing at 7.5 deg BTDC in the days when I didn't
have a timing light, but it still had a vacuum unit.  Do I recall
this one has lost its vacuum unit?
