Setting Points - Why is it so difficult?
Hi all,
Why do I find setting point so difficult in my 1968 1800S?
I have always found it really difficult to set the points gap accurately. It seems such a poor set up having to physically rotate the base of the points with a screwdriver. Must have had 4 or 5 separate attempts yesterday before giving up with a dwell reading of 56degrees (from a 0.015inch gap).
I have set Lucas style points with the eccentric screw many times and got it right first time. The Bosch system seems so unrefined.
Am I missing something and is there a better way to set the points gap correctly.
I am tempted to go down the electronic ignition set up (Accuspark) but have been put off due to issues of integration with the armored cable/coil set-up! Maybe its time to bight the bullet.
Phil
