Hi all,
I tried Ron's method (thanks Ron) of loosening then rotating the distributor till the points were fully on the cam, setting the gap and then resetting the timing. Certainly a lot easier being able to get the points exactly on the cam. Previously, I put the car in gear and pushed the car till the cam was in the correct position (which took quite a few goes and very frustrating).
Set the points to the high end (0.02 inch) with a dwell of 56º (should be 59º according to the manual, but whats 3º between friends). Then I set the static timing to 10º at 800rpm, which gave around 17º at 1500rpm and 30º at 2500rpm.
