Put the engine timing marks a few inches to the left of center. Turn on the ignition. Turn the engine CW with a wrench slowly while watching the light. The points have opened when the light comes on. Turn the distributor and repeat until the light comes on when the timing mark gets to the place you want. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
