[T3] 72 Timing


Ok I am reading the Bentley and need something explained.  I do not have a
stroboscopic timing light.  Do I have to disconnect the vacuum hoses and
plug them, if I am using a static timing light?  Is this method inacurate?
Here is what I am doing, set point gap with dwell, set idle speed to 950 +-
50, set timing by putting the fan at 5deg btdc the rotor aligned at #1 and
rotating the distibutor until the light comes on.  Correct? Thanks in
Advance.
