Re: [T3] dizzy/carbs/timing


Hello-

Remember - canisters are swappable.  You can mix and match canisters with
different distributors.

OPTION 1:
Get a dual carb T3 canister.  Use it on the later, appropriate FI
distributor.  Because this engine is also dual carbed, it should give you a
good signal.  Or...

OPTION 2:
Get a 36hp distributor and use the vacuum advance canister from it.  With
_very_ slight modification, it will fit on a later dual-advance distributor
appropriate for your year of vehicle.

Why a 36hp canister?  They are adjustable!  :-)  You can adjust the total
advance, the pressure preload, and, if needed, the stiffness of the spring
itself (often not needed).

Take care,
