Setting timing 009

[Gingerporsche]

Hi,
I've got a Bosch 009 with electronic ignition fitted to my 65 notchback,
How do i go about setting the timing properly?
Just got a new timing gun with the advance dial! Do i set that to 30 then rev it to 3500?
Not sure which mark on the pulley to use?
It's a rebuilt 1600 sp if that helps!!

Any help would be great!
Thanks in advance
Wilf

I'm no expert but I think you set it so you get maximum advance at 3500 rpm ?

Where I read that bit of info I do not remember. If I can find it I'll check what it says.

Cheers for that!
It's suffering from lag on acceleration an the dreaded flat spot of the 009!
My local garage fitted it as my original dizzy couldn't take electronic ignition!!
Would i be better off re fitting my original vac dizzy? If so how do i re time it?
I.e. Which marks do i line up with the strobe?
It's a 65 1600 sp!!
Cheers wilf

Yep, much better with the original vacuum dissy. The 009 flat spot is caused by a lack of advance during acceleration. It depends what pulley you have fitted. But usually the last mark is TDC. If you have two further marks clockwise from there. 7.5BTDC and 10BTDC. But it'll depend on your engine code. If you set it to 7.5BTDC at idle with the hose off and most importantly plugged. It'll run nicely

Cool thanks for that!
I have 3 marks on my pulley all next to each other! Have read it needs to be set at 10 on my 65 1600sp? The middle mark??
