Looks like 9 coils as standard Dom, just found this picture of my restored advance/retard mechanism.



Thanks Ken, that confirms mine are definitely trimmed.  If you find yours and or want a swap let me know, what are the drawbacks if i were to use mine as they are?

Not a great deal Dom. Mine are around somewhere, it's just finding them that's the problem.

Delay of advance will usually reduce torque available at low rpm.

Retarded to ease starting, running smoothly at tickover etc, then advance brought in to maximise burn effectiveness as soon as the combustion chamber and flywheel influence will allow.
