Right guys hopeing some one on here can help i have a 1.6 ct T 25 and on a trip down to wales the dizzy packed up so the garaged put on a new dizzy not the same instead off a twin vac they changed it to a single vac as you cannot get the twin vacs any more my question is he timed it 32 degrees before top dead centre is this right or should it have been timed 5 degrees after TDC as i think its running a wee bit hot am hopeing for a answer as i intend to use it to go to bus vest but want to make sure i get there and back any help would be gratefull.

5 deg ATDC is only when a twin vac distributor is fitted. Single vac is 7.5 BTDC at idle with the vac pipe disconnected which should work out to about 28 deg BTDC @ over 3400 RPM, 32 deg might be a tad to far and may cause pinking.

thanks mate will give it a try
