Re: [DML] R30 PRV Timed 10 degrees

[Martin Gutkowski <webmaster@xxxx>]

Was talking to Darren earlier and the timing is not "retarded" but 
over-advanced in a stock DMC at idle to clean up the emissions. The vac 
solenoid thatcuts off the advance means that on a Ren engine, timing 
should be set up with the vac disconnected. In reality it doesn't make a 
lot of difference.

Busy playing with timing on a right-hander with Volvo ignition, finding 
its "sweet spot" around 8-9 degrees at idle.
