Fed up jacking it up

So I moved the timing marks to the top where the strobe won’t be stretched to check it.

Did you use Whyte-Out for the job, or just some white paint? :confused:

Correction fluid was handiest at the time

That’s what we call it here in the States (brand name) :us:

I just drive onto floor ramps to check timing.

What is this “timing” of which you speak? Instead of a timing light, us Marelli people just carry an extra fire extinguisher.

I don’t have a xenon light with leads long enough

Ahh. Yeah, mine luckily came with long lead for spark plug wire. Just slip it down between radiator and grille. I also have a spare 12V battery i use that i can drag over.
Timing on these Lucas engines is important!

Rex, couldn’t you make lead extensions?

I could have, but now I can change distributor possition, if necessary without changing mine. :grin:
