I ended up modifying the points cam to get the required advance by removing about half of the locating pin.would be hard to put back to original if needed. RH side is still right on the edge of its adjustment on the points plate, but LH is in about the middle of its adjustment.

I have done some more with this and have found that when I checked the timing with a Dial indicator, it was inline with the marks on the rotor @2.08mm BTDC. my points didn't open until 1.2mm BTDC , and this was also at full advance on the points plate . What I did notice was that the rotor has...

Yep I will have to use a Dial indicator to check the degree/ mm before TDC. I set the points gap on the back of the cam at maximum opening, and they are new points although this build has been on and off for a few years I found a service bulletin about the stator being re-stamped due to the...

I have a problem with the timing on my 1976 GT250. I have set the points gap to 0.014' as per the specs but cant seem to get the them to open at 2.05mm before TDC- lining up with the timing marks on the stator plate. I have moved the plates on both to full retardation and I'm still not on the...
