I've had the carb rebuilt on my '66 2000sc and am going to look at the timing. Never done the timing before so any suggestions / hints / tips all gratefully received. I have a timing gun and in theory, know what to do. Just never done it before.
Main reason for looking at timing is that the book states timing s/b 4 degrees btdc. But I realise that the book was written in a time with different fuel to today's fuel. E10 has just come in to ireland and I have no choice but to use E10 with an octane booster (and lead additive). The guy who rebuilt the carb has suggested I go for around 10 degrees btdc. Does that sound about right? He also suggested changing plugs from N9YC to NGK BP5ES. What are people's thoughts on the 10 degrees and plugs?
