Rightoooo, I bought a timing light and had a look, plugged up the dizzy advance hose thingo and had a look and the mark on the harmonic balancer looks to be at about 16deg? The 1600 block only goes up 12 but it's past that. So is this bad? It doesn't ping that I know of, could this be causing it to not be as snappy and not rev high or should I be seeing better results from it being at 16deg? :/ not really sure aye... Please help??

Now you have a timing light you can drop it back to 12 and try, if its worse take back to 16.

Good idea! What way Do I turn the dizzy to retard it? And is there anything else I need to know other then loosening the dizzy abit and then put the timing light on and turn it till it's on 12. Then stop the motor and tighten the dizzy? I know the vac advance line has to be plugged up but is there anythig else?

Thanks heaps people for the input.

No thats about it mate, turning the dizzy Anti clockwise will retard the timing on the 1.6.

Okay yehh, I'll see if I can get a second pair of hands, if not I'll take on the challenge myself. I love learning how to do things myself :)


Thanks again,
Brandon.

Okay! Set the timing to 12deg. And I also found a really good site on the net that explains how to tune a 32/36. So I retuned my carby (didnt really want to because I had to get tas to tune it last time because after a rebuilt it I didn't know anything about the dgvs and didnt know what to do)

But! I gave it ago and got it pretty spot on and probably even better then before, and while I was at it I found a small hole in the carby where the choke was that never had been blocked off (the carb came without a choke as the choke housing has a screw stuck in there and the head ripped off).

I always thought there was a leak cause when I revved it in neutral it didnt rev straight down it had a spot that stayed for a bit. So I plugged that up an it is all good now.

It also had a bit of a flat spot at about 1500rpm but that Is now gone :)

I Had it dynod a while back when it was auto and had the full standard exhaust, and didn't have the tune it has now, it made 43.1hp at the wheels :D so with the manual in and the tune and full exhaust system hopefully will have a few more hp now. Definatly going to Dyno it ASAP.


Thanks again for the help guy, much appreciated.

Well done mate, good to hear you getting it sorted.
I enjoy learning new stuff too, the moment the light turns in the head on how the thing is supposed to go is classic.

Thanks mate. And yeh I agree.

I had no clue as to how a timing light worked, untill I thought long and hard and it came to me that I flashes like a strobe light and you can see the mark and what not. Haha.

Thanks again.
