Thanks for that

No more info required :-)

I just swapped a 3y out of a van on LPG into the hilux and of course the timing ain't quite right now its back on petrol. The old motor dropped a big end and the 3y was the right price (FREE).

i would go for 10deg and run BP ultimate...... but you forgot to mention the vacume advance hose off and plugged :wink: and 0.016" points gap (better than the recomended 0.018" as it helps them rev a bit better)and if you want a really good fat spark use a 6volt coil and carry a couple sets of spare points and condensor 8)

:mrgreen:
