    Fitting new bestek dizzy and coil

    Hi all, just received my bestek kit, is there an idiots guide to fitting the dizzy?
    it has been mapped to 14 degrees idle and 34 degrees at 5k revs. Engine is 2.1 pinto, 285 cam, twin 45 webers. Thanks

    Marking the pulley with 14 degrees and 34 degrees will allow you to use a strobe at idle and 5k to check the dizzy is set up right.
    Idle engine and check 14 degrees, rev engine to 5k and check 34 degrees.
    If idle not at 14 degrees twist dizzy.

    just a point to note, the timing at 5000 is more important than at idle, a degree or two advanced at idle wont hurt but 36 degrees @5000 might

    Thanks guys, should I just wait until it goes to the rolling road which is booked in April? Its been set up last month but the tuning guy told me to order this bestek kit to the spec he gave me.

    That would make sense and protect the engine if you set it up badly wrong.
