Re: [T3] Dizzy retartd

<x-flowed>So if a FI dizzy is installed 180¼ off it would behoove us to correct the mistake, otherwise the #1 cylinder would be retarded...correct?

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)?

t is done in the grind of the distributor cam lobe. This is why, if the
dist. gear is in wrong, you can't just move the wires around to correct
for it. That is why VW put that mark in the edge of the distributor for
#1.
