[T2] And the bus is home again!

[david raistrick]

congrats to getting back to the bus again!

mine was on the lift for the last 3 waiting on time to do the rear
brakes.... now done.  but the mini is getting the AC and a bunch of other
things finished first, then the bus goes back on for fuel lines and general
engine bay cleaning.  then it'll be drivable again.

so timing - my memory of mucking with typ4s back in the day was that they
ran a lot more total timing than did uprights.  I'm remembering like 40-43
degrees of max advance. looking at a copy of jim's old data -
http://type2.com/~keen/ignition.html - though I guess I'm remembering
wrong.  a 75 would be ~~31 all in (-5 to start, then 25 centrifugal and 11
vacuum max).

get a better timing light, though - you dont need to use the scale at all.
 digital timing lights only need the 0 mark.    I bought this one years ago
- https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000EVU8J8/ -  INNOVA 5568 Pro Digital
Timing Light .   Even the cheaper "advance" version will do fine.    Of
course I've basically never touched the timing since going pertronix.  set
it once and forget it.  (I did tune and tweak it a bunch as I was rejecting
and tuning the carb)
