    Default How to set ignition Timing



    In doing research on my VW I found these. Gives you principals that go beyond VW, so I thought I would post them.

    Turn the distributor until your meter indicates it set to the proper amount before tdc. Need a manual to know what that value.is.

    Old VW? Turn the distributor until it sounds right. Done!
