Never saw that in a VW Manual. Just for kicks, I Googled "VW Timing", and found this among many others....
Twist the distributor body to set the timing. I usually set it somewhere between 30 - 32 degrees BTDC (but no more than 32 degrees). Use 25 or 28 depending on your Mag. You don't "Tweak" it, that is just what it is, unless you change the cam, and I believe that most if not all VW conversions, use the stock cam.

Heath - Lexington, SC -------Original Message------- From: Eric Evezard Can some netters kindly explain why VW manuals give 7 deg BTDC and aero conversions give 25 to 28 deg BTDC as the timing.?. How does one "tweak" the VW to use 25 to 28 deg BTDC.?
