I have an automatic SP and it is fitted with a DG box.
There is a supplement for this and if you email me I will scan it for you.
Cheers

Re: LD10Timing

Success.
The engine was apparently 180 degrees out.
Timed it on number 4 cylinder and hey presto.
Thanks chaps for your assistance.
Now only have to get the carb rebuilt as it seems too worn for it to run as it should.
