5 degrees of overlap and 10 degrees of duration is the recommended settings to give to Newmans. They have confirmed they can do this. I'll detail the timing issue later
No you can leave the timing at stock, although if the springs have already been cut that will have altered the timing somewhat but nothing to worry you. Carbs can be left standard as well. Only do what you feel comfortable doing, if you want stock advance springs I’ll swap you for yours, try counting the coils though to confirm they are shorter than stock
Doubtful Dom, not many go to the trouble, which is a shame as it's a decent mod.
8 coils on one and only 7 on the other, odd.
