I think mine is something like January 72 so accounting for the difference between UK and US spec's it is quite likely to be the same setup. Might have to try it at 5 degrees as initially I think the previous owner had it at 12.5(or whatever the last mark is)..

I believe really late 72, 73 model year. 72s have a special timing requirement that Bentley describes well. Mine was VERY early, yet has the dual bleeder 100cm2 brake calipers, the U engine code, all 72 spec FI stuff, and sticker shows 5 deg for timing, as the 72 specs dictate. I bet the car would run straight up at 0, but I'd check into that. We need someone with a late 72 or 73 to chime in about the x code... Don't have haynes for t3, only the early bug/ghia one. >>>>>This is from the Haynes Manual (the Staple in the uk;-) )- >>>>>what you are saying makes sense though because I have no >>>>>reason to disbelieve the PO who said it had never been >>>>>changed.
