[QUOTE="Aardvark, post: 624754, member: 31235"] Right guys. Here is the latest update. Got the timing set last night. It's a wee bit strange, but the sweet spot seems to be about 7.5° at idle with vac pipe off. Took the van for a road test and wow! It a different vehicle. It feels nippy now. Accelerates through all the gears really strongly. It almost like I've changed the engine. Interestingly, the Bentley manual says that my year of engine should be 0° at idle. Tried it, but it ran like a dog. It obviously a mish-mash of different carb and dizzy means that it won't time as factory. But it sure runs well now. I will run it around for a few days to give it a good test, but so far, fingers crossed, it running great. Aardvark [/QUOTE]
