[QUOTE="StefansBus, post: 618933, member: 22908"] The first sentence is correct. The second one possibly misleading. The "B" engine (1600 single port) has a "vacuum advance only" distributor. There is no mechanical/centrifugal advance. Follow the manual when setting timing. If the distributor is no longer the stock distributor then the numbers from the manual may not work. The stock distributor works best with the stock carb, a Solex 30 PICT 2. Do you have that? You can also tell us the numbers on the distributor and we can check for you. We can then help you with the correct ignition timing. Another challenge when setting timing is that frequently the pulley with the timing marks is no longer stock and the marks are not correct or relevant. Again, a picture will help us help you.
