Still waiting for the cam to arrive. Postal services out of Sweden are ****!. I would have bought the
belt from them too but they don't have any direct pay system i got, so i would need to wait for the
bank transfer and shipping which takes at least a week. The car is supposed to go to the track
Sunday morning.
The pinto belt is hard to get in Europe. Our parts supplier had no luck at all. When i decide to
upgrade the exhaust i'll order a few belt's along, Just not enough time now. To solve the problem i
made a bush to go over the tensioner pulley. It allows for enough tension on the belt. While at it
i made the adjustable cam gear.
The next issue is ignition timing. It still has the original point's type ignition, fine for now. Searched
the whole forum but couldn't find any usable info on it. I got the distributor on the ignition tester and
it seems to do 12 centrifugal degrees, all in on 1750 rpm. That would be 24 crank degrees on 3500
engine rpm's. I estimate i need somewhere between the 30 and 36 degrees total advance. That
would leave me with 6-12 degrees idle, which i guess is quite low for this type of cam isn't it?
