[QUOTE="matt-me, post: 532587, member: 3817"] Check your distributor code to see what it should be timed at, they're not all the same. I had this problem on a 78 beetle, we'd assumed the distributor was correct for the year etc but it turned out someone had swapped it over for something from a 74 panel van. The timing set ups were totally different. We still couldn't get it perfect but it was better. However, in the long run we did buy a correct second hand one. Check through this link to see if it throws anything up : http://www.oldvolkshome.com/ignition.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; [/QUOTE]
