Im looking into resolving a mild but annoying 2.5-3k stutter on my 67 230sl
Im new to the car, and the PO said he thought the 051 distributor had some slop in it, so I may install a new 123 distributor. Beforehand I wanted to get a baseline on how the car is currently set up. here is what I found today which seems strange
Im getting a consistent 1000 rpm high idle, at which the light shows a spark at "0" (TDC)
At 3000 rpms I'm getting around 35-37 degrees which I think is normal.
Why would I be at TDC at 1000 rpms? There is no pinging or out of place noises, the car starts fine and seems to be happy idling there although I know its out of spec.
PS I have done the recommended linkage tour and all is set up to spec.
Ideas?
Thanks,
Joe
