On a 1982 4G64 motor, the service manual lists that the ignition timing should be 5 degrees BTDC but there is also a sticker on the air cleaner that says it should be 13 degrees BTDC.

Does anyone know what is should be? Perhaps I should split the difference and go for 9 degrees BTDC!

Depending if its electro or hydro mechanical advance , 15/12 will be a cold setting to which it will vary down to 5 on its own within warm up and vacuum load at ranged rpm. So the appropriate would be between 15 and 10 while cold.

going lower than this will cause over advancment under engine load when it advances itself

Thanks – it is mechanical vacuum advance (the only thing electronic on the ’82 4G63 is a solenoid on the carby!!).

I am a bit confused

if this is a 4 cyl petrol motor
and the dissy has points (not electronic )

I used to set the points to 18 thou- dwell @52
and time to 5 degrees

Ooops! My mistake. Yes, the ignition is electronic with mechanical vacuum advance. I went with the factory setting, given that the service manual I have is an after market one and I already found some other errors in it (relating to other systems). At this stage, she is stripped back for body work and interior work, so she just drives in and out of the workshop.

Cheers!

If the Timing Belt breaks, does this blow the motor?
