Hi just bought the above distributor for the 1968 340xk engine I’m restoring and was wondering if anyone had set one up before and what basic curve was used to initially start the engine, my engine is 8/1 with the straight head and twin SU HD6 carburettors with cold start carb. If you haven’t set one up but know the relevant ignition advance at any given revolutions to build up a picture of a good starting point for the curve it would help a great deal.
Many thanks in advance for any info provided, my previous experiences on this site have provided an amazing amount of help so here’s hoping. 🤗

 

Check out this thread and see if it covers your inquiry, (I always recommend starting with 0 curve for XK engines).
