How to advance timing II

[LX-biker]

Hi,

I made experiments with timing adjustment by pinging like suggest "shepherd 79" in the thread reply.
Finaly I made max. advance and can't hear pinging. I am using 91 gas (premium or Gold). I hear such pinging on winter some time when drove car with cold engine.

Is it OK? No pinging but acceleration is better!

hey hey, sounds like you did good job on it.

Thanks!

I did just basics:
-spark plugs/wires, coil
-pcv
-carb. rebuild
-mixture
-few broken vac lines and valve
-valve ajustment
-new alternator and battery

Wow! I did that?!

Ones more.

Today in evening, just few houres ago I changed Igniter. I had it from my last visit to junk yard 8 monthes ago. Adn GUESS! Bad idle (remember iDLe IdLE IIIIDDDLLLEEeeeeee!!!) Gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Like a miracle! Good and Smooth acceleration, tight brakes and smooooooooooooooth idle!

Guys, know what? Check ingiter first if you have low rpm and idle related problems. For breakfast.
Coil and other distributors -for lunch!

I think Igniter placed to distributer body can be likely overheated and even maded by NEC (big authority in electronics) have time to die, even not immideately. Not piece of wire like spark plugs.
