Classic Mini Survival Guide: How to plot a Distributor Timing Curve and Measure/check idle timing

Want to know how measure a distributor timing curve? I check idle timing on an A series motor as well as perform a distributor timing curve check using a dial back timing light. This is part 3 of the ignition timing series. For Part 1 go here: https://youtu.be/bPkvIvrOgtI For Part 2 go here: https://youtu.be/xLg-UPBGI_8?si=iNpmXxL3b5Sib2vd I also want to state that I am not in any way sponsored by Innova. The Classic Mini Survival guide is a series of short videos where I will be breaking down various skills and tasks required to keep your classic mini in top running condition. As I work on minis, I am constantly finding problems with general maintenance items such as spark plugs, valve gaps, ignition timing, etc... I see these as tasks which any owner is capable of doing. My goal is to help those interested in doing the work themselves. The key is to do it correctly! My goal with this series is to educate and inform the Mini community so that we keep more of these cars on the road. The better they run, the more they get used and appreciated by others. If you have a suggestion for a topic, let me know in the comments below each video.
