Just a video of me timing the DVDA distributor on my 1973 VW Super Beetle

I will say that I do not think the vast majority of people will need to perform a static time, a total centrifugal advance time, an SVDA advance-only time, and a full DVDA time on their engine in order to dial it in. But man, you did an outstanding job on this video so everyone should be able to time their engine wherever it sits currently. Thank you!

Awesome Explanation. This is the only DVDA setup I’ve seen that makes perfect sense. Much appreciated! Just ordered a remanufactured distributor from VWNOS…Many Thanks!!!

This video was one of the best videos I have EVER seen on timing. Thanks a million! I have a DVDA with pertronix ignition and I have been having trouble with tuning because I have been timing my max adv with the hose connected. I think this will solve my problem and I can't thank you enough for the insight!

I agree, that was brilliant, a little closer would be the only thing I could think would make it better. But only because I'm a "Green as Kermit" rookie ...Lol

Seriously, good information. Use a sharpie to mark the dist position. Then you will know exactly if it moved when tightening down.

Did you have both vacuum ports on the carb plugged for initial timing?

when you time it at max advance at 30 degrees 3000rpm,, what is that actually ignition timing when you measure it at idle. so at idle point the gun at the block casing marker and get the tdc mark to line up, whats the gun say? thanks

It should say around 7.5 at idle for a DVDA. However, max advance at approximately 3k rpm should be 28 to 32 atdc. Having max advance in the correct spot is more important than what it does at idle.

He lost his 10 mm socket!😝

Lol. It's because the distributor clamp is too close to the nut to get a socket on it. I have since changed to a type 3 clamp which moves the nut to the left side of the distributor.
