    Pinto 1600 Electronic Ignition Timing

    Hi
    I've bought a complete Accuspark kit (distributor, coil, leads ans sparkplugs) to fit my Capri MkII 1600 GT (Pinto).
    After fitting it I've had to set timing advance earlier than it was (like ten degrees earlier)
    Is it normal?

    Thanks

    Depends on what graph they've put into the distributer. I always check total advance and static to be sure what is going on.

    Those replica China dizzy's don't have the correct advance and you never find 2 the same. The parts inside are also very simple devices, far from Bosch quality. I'v seen many of these dizzy's for all kind of makes and always the same.

    BTW, the shaft is to soft and the way they make the drive for the Hex is very bad made. This drive is needed for you oil pump. I would not trust is.
