Hi all,
There's been a lot of mail from people with timing
problems recently. Well here's another one. I have a 1971 bus, which
at some point has had the engine replaced, I think from a 1600
Beetle. The engine number is AD212000'ish. According to the Haynes
manual the AD series engines prior to AD290000 are timed at 5o ATDC.
However the pulley on the engine is the type with three notches which
I think are TDC, 7.5o BTDC and 10o BTDC. Has anyone any idea what the
engine should be timed at? The distributer is the type with the
single vacuum connection. TIA
Cheers
