Dwelling on it [timing]

[sebking]

Been tuning the sprint, and a few questions.<br>
<br>
The dwell angle is 46-56 deg in the manual. Setting the gap to 0.012 in gives a dwell in the region of 36 deg. Smaller gap obviously means bigger number so I've reduced it to 0.012 giving 44 deg - do I make it even smaller.<br>
<br>
I read that a too large gap will damage other ignition components - perhaps this is the reason for the condenser failures?<br>
<br>
Having set mixture to 4% CO down from 6% I'm looking at running with the above gap at 6-8 BTDC on the strobe (vac disconnected) otherwise I get serious pinking. Seems to drive ok on test, but need a few miles to double check. <br>
<br>
Still have a slight misfire but think that is down to the "new" cap from fitchetts - will call them next week.<br>
<br>
Any comments on the above figures.<br>
<br>
Thanks and Happy New Year<br>
Seb
