My new Bentley for the pre-68's shows that they had 3 timing marks. 7.5,
10, and 12.5 degrees. Timing is to be set at 10 degrees.
And it is showing a distributor on a machine, and has the note that #3
is retarded 2 degrees. This is for the 205E and 205F. It doesn't mention
it for the ZV/JCU 4 R 3, but does get into quite detail on both
distributors.
