Default Bristol in Baja
The start of it all......
In addition to setting the points, I find that the crank handle is useful to
set the valve clearance. My 3.5L SS can be hand cranked - the 7:1
compression helps! Interestingly my dizzy is set to fire at 10 deg bef top
and I don't need to retard to start.
Has anyone started their car by flicking a suspended rear wheel?
- the old bikes could be started this way!
