R12 with 847 engine tuning question

[jjonut]

Hello all,
I'm just in the process of tuning an 847 engine and wondering if the dwell angle is the same as the 810?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
cheers,
Julian

Yes they are the same according to the owners manuals that I have.

The books say:

Distributor contact points gap 0.4 mm (.016")
Cam angle 57 deg +/- 3 deg
Dwell percentage 63% +/- 3

That's fantastic- thanks! I suspect I also had a lesser batch of fuel. With those setting it runs pretty smooth now finally.
