1300 Timing
I have a 67 bug with a stock standard 1300 and a stock distributor ( a short stubby one with vacuum advance) .
My pulley belt has 2 notches at the rear about 3 mm apart and one white dot on front of pulley. I lined up the right hand notch with slit in the block
and did a static timing adjustment by connecting contact light probe and turning Distributor until light turned on.
the bug starts ok but I feel that it is now sluggish up hills and takes longer to get up to normal speeds . I guess I need to use a strobe now for
the finer adjustment . I get confused with all the Timing procedures and the terminologies of 7.5 degrees , 10 degrees before TDC etc depending on
what notches are in the pulley .
So could someone please advise me on the info given on what I actually have to line up and when using strobe and where the notches should be to get
correct timing?
PS it was running perfectly before I adjusted the distributor position so nothing else should be causing the issue . I can supply a photo if needed

Can Anyone shed some light ? I have static timed the motor on the left hand notch - but its not quite right should I just move slightly more to the
left?

Use the left hand notch
If that doesn't feel right, make sure your dwell is ok
