Just out of interest, what is your total advance now that the plate is in? Is it around 34 deg? Also, have you tried disconnecting the choke? I dont use one on my Polara. It caused all my cold start/ running issues

Cheers Steve

I adjusted it, now 18 btdc, then total advance was 32 degrees.
The FBO plate is locked on 14.


Yesterday I also fixed the rough on choke... the reluctor gap was way to wide in the dizzy, the spark was pathetic. In fact its been pathetic for quite some time, I should probably start timing from square one but I will go for a drive and see how it is at 18btdc. Every day is a school day....
