Table of timing values

Table of values for adjusting the static ignition timing in relation to distributor advance Download curve charts here (.pdf) Curves are not necessary for setting timing. However, they are handy for checking the condition of your distributor Column A....engine speed at which the timing must be carried out Column B.....total angle of spark advance in crankshaft degrees in relation to TDC Column C.....angle of advance in relation to the static timing in distributor degrees
		A	B	C
Vehicle Type	Remarks	Speed in engine r.p.m. to carry our timing (or engine speed of maximum advance; may be higher)	Total advance in crankshaft degrees	Advance in relation to static setting in distributor degrees
DS Oct. 55 to July 59	Distributor with double contact breakers Curve C1	2000	22°	5°
ID Until Feb. 64	Vacuum advance capsule disconnected Curve C2 and D1	2000	22°	5°
DS Feb. 59 to Sept. 65	Curve C3	2000	22°	5°
ID Feb. 64 to Sept. 64	Vacuum advance capsule disconnected Curve C3 and D1	2000	22°	5°

DV (U.S.A.) Jan. 68 to Oct. 68 Distributor in back	Timing slot in flywheel is at TDC Special Curve	2500	18°	9°
DV (U.S.A.) After Oct. 68	Timing slot in flywheel is at TDC Special Curve	2500	24°	12°
DX, DJ, DXF, DJF Oct. 68 to Sept. 72 DP Since Sept. 72	Mark on distributor DX-05i Curve C9	2000	20°	4°
DY (U.S.A.) Jan. 68 to Oct. 68	Timing slot on flywheel is at TDC Special Curve	2000	20°	10°
DX, DXF, DJ, DJF (U.S.A.) After Oct. 68	Timing slot on flywheel is at TDC Curve C9	2000	20°	10°
DY, DL, DLF, DT (U.S.A.) Jan. 68 to Oct. 68	Timing slot on flywheel is at TDC	2000	16°	8°
DY, DL, DLF, DT (U.S.A.) After Oct. 68	Timing slot on flywheel is at TDC Curve C11	2000	8°	4°
DY, DL, DYF, DV, DT Oct. 68 to May 69	Mark on distributor DV-05d Curve C10	2000	24°	6°
DY, DL, DYF, DLF, DT Since May 69 DV Since Sept. 72	Mark on distributor DY-010a Curve C11	2000	28°	8°
DV May 69 to Sept. 72	Mark on distributor DV-010A Curve C12	2000	24°	6°
DX, DXBW, DJ, DXF, DJF Since Sept. 72	Mark on distributor DV-010A Curve C12	2000	23°

* If the distributor is changed on vehicles DX, DJ, DJF, produced between September, 1965 and September, 1968 it is possible to fit the distributor of vehicles DX,DJ, DXF,DJF produced since October 1968, i.e.:

either distributor SEV-Marchal (supplier's mark A 222........................................................................DX 211-014 a, or
distributor Ducellier (supplier's mark 4253-A.......................................................................................DX 211-05 j.

Distributor timing therefore takes place at

Speed in r.p.m.	Total advance in crankshaft degrees	Advance in relation to static setting in distributor degrees
2000	20°	4°
