Hi Colin,
I think the unit is an Accuspark one.
It isn't so much that the timing is difficult to set on the electronic unit as I have become reasonably proficient at setting it by ear, but once set to prevent pinking , I think the static timing becomes very retarded.
I am no expert but there is certainly a big difference between my two units.
Looking at the centrifugal weights on both the electronic and standard distributer and moving the points cam by hand to simulate advance, the standard DK4a takes a lot more effort to move to the fully advanced position than the electronic unit so I am assuming that the advance will be quicker ?
Thanks to all for the help
