<html><DIV><FONT face="Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Sans-serif">Greetings everyone!!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana>I have a 1981 Vanagon.&nbsp; Just completed a tune up on the rig, and I need to time it.&nbsp; I need to find out if anyone can give me timing information.&nbsp; Such as, dwell of the points, timing info (*BTDC/*ATDC), and any other useful information.&nbsp; I also really need to know where I need to shoot the timing light at.&nbsp; Now, on my old bug, it was really easy.&nbsp; But, with shroud and crap in the way, I don't know what I aim the timing light at.&nbsp; Help please?&nbsp; Also, what is the recommended idle speed, what to disconnect/plug when I time it?&nbsp; I don't have a owners manual, or a service manual yet, so I'd like as much info as I can get.&nbsp; Thanks a million!!!</FONT></DIV>
