as far as im aware your 1degree out it should be 13 but what do i know :lol: do i sound like someone else :oops: TT

That is correct Tony
(13 Degrees + or - 2 degrees @775 rpm plus or minus 50 ) Workshop manual

If you have the Volvo dizzy and metering head then you should be running at 10 degrees BTDC

Thanks, I have the volvo dizzy on but not the metering head as yet, so will set at 10%
Thanks for the help

If you have the volvo distributor on, leave the advance solenoid on too.
Disconnect the oxygen sensor electrically and set the fuel mixture to 2 to 2.5% co.
Once you have the oem B28E fuel distributor, matching CPR and metering head/flap (v important for the correct fuel curve) then bypass the thermo switch completely.

OK I'll show you at Eurotec.
What I posted was an attempt to show you a modified vacuum route using ascii characters.
IE the vacuum piping goes from the inlet manifol to a T piece.
From this T piece (1) to the Distributor Solenoid.
From the Distributor Solenoid to the Vaccuum advance on the distributor.
From the T piece (1) the other side goes to the Volvo CPR.
Good luck.
NickT.
