[Other timing stuff deleted]
/Well, I decided that I really didn't know what to do. That is,
/whether to set the timing at the 1150rpm idle with the vacuum retard
/disconnected, or to use the 800/850rpm idle with the vacuum retard
/connected, or whether I was supposed to reset the idle to give
/800/850 with the vacuum retard disconnected, and then set the
/timing.
/Suggestions? Help?
/--ken
I was sort of in the same dilema a couple of months ago with the GT6.
It wasn't running well and it turned out to be a loose vacuum advance.
With that fixed it, I set the timing. Pull the vacuum advance, it
speeds up and the timing changes. I set the timing to spec at the high
rpms and it ran like crap on the road. Went back, pulled the vacuum
advance hose off set the idle to ~800rpm and set the timing. Reattached
the vacuum advance and reset the idle. Ran great after that. Of
course, the haynes manual just says set the timing at 4 ATDC @ 800rpm
and nothing else about disconnecting the advance.
