Re: [T3] Dizzy retartd (was: early engine pics)
<x-flowed>So where does this retard originate? That is, is the #3 lobe on the
dizzy shaft positioned at 88¼ instead of 90¼? Or does it have something
to do with the advance mechanisim below (and how)?

... By the way Jim Adney, do the FI
distributors have the 2 degrees or so of retard built in for cyl 3 that are on the regular motors?
...The list I have shows it for the early distributors, but it continued up
thru everything air cooled that I have worked with. I have verified it
with a timing light, and the old VW diagnostic systems checked it.
I think even Dave Hall checked his to verify it.
