![]() I follow your light stick sort of and timing has been done many ways and it's all what one feels comfortable with, however Points -regarding spark and points position - The spark happens when the points open - the magnetic field in the primary of the coil collapses and sends a surge through the secondary to the plugs. BUT usually set engine at 28-30° BTDC at 3000 RPM for final tune. In essence it is what you are doing with your STROBE method.īeen doing it that way for years. This will get you "start up" every time you set new engine. Put crank pulley at 7.5° BTDC and turn key on, and rotate dist till test lamp lights. Connect other side of test light to ground. Connect one side of test light to #1 terminal of coil. You will be amazed!Īctually you can use static timing (test) light with electronic modules. For me static timing all the way and the engine will purr through out the rpm range. You would be surprised to find where the timing light shows your timing is at 3000 rpm. Lock down your distributor and she will purr like a kitten. Once you have it correct, check it by turning the engine back and forth and slowly turn engine clockwise to make sure the strobe lights (just a blip) at 7.5 BTDC. Now while holding the trigger on your strobe turn the distributor counter clockwise until the strobe light flashes. Turn the engine to 7.5 degrees BTDC and then rotate the distributor clockwise than counter clockwise. As your 7.5 degrees BTDC arrives the strobe light will flash. Note this will work just as well on engines with points. Just hook up your timing light when the engine is cold and rotate the engine with the ignition on and hold the trigger down on your timing strobe. Enter the timing strobe light to be used for static timing. It is true that static timing cannot be performed on pertronix or compufire ignitions with a light probe or meter. Enter the strobe light and the basic static timing procedure and you now have a way too really make a big difference in performance. I also read that you can't perform static timing with electronic points. From what I gathered from all suggestions off the web and various forums is that the preferred method for the best timing is static with the engine cold. I have finally found a new way to adjust the timing on my VW stock 1972 type 1 engine with compufire points.
