[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 30879, member: 456"] All the above advice is good. Look very carefully at the stops on the ATD for serious wear. It is when these get worn (after 60 years of use!!) that the total movement from full advance to full retard is no longer what it was and then if you retard the fully advanced setting to about 34 you can get a fully retarded value of after TDC, WHICH IS NOT GOOD. If the stop look worn then it is possible to build them up with weld and then trim them with a file or grinder. Easier to do it before assembling everything and having the timing cover in situ.
