If I recall correctly, the early North American M110 (73 to 76) had only vacuum retard. Look around for a European or 77 and later US distributor.

Some cars actually had a vac advance and vac retard, my 84 bmw did. I think the mbs were set up differently though, as noted above.
The bmw would never run properly with correct power til I modified the distributor to give pre emission controls performance. Tom W

Spring has finally arrived here in Canada, time to put the car back on the road.
I installed a fuel pressure regulator in january (fuel pressure is now as required by weber redline) and after speaking with a weber redline representative I had the timing set to 10 degrees BTDC and now it finally runs well!!! I'm not crazy about the gas pedal feel (not progressive, almost like an on-off switch) but I think I'll be able to fix that. Thank you all for your input! |

Sometimes there is a very fine adjustment of the throttle plate that covers or uncovers ports which direct air to different places. So the fine adjustment might need another look. There should be complete instructions on it. Off throttle response is also related to the accelerator pump.

the crane and pertronix setup is good for distributors that are not worn out.
if the car still feels sluggish with them, watch out for a 123 ignition. maybe there are dealers in canada too: http://www.123ignition.nl/id/25.html

If it's like a Mallory this may be the ticket for a more modern style ignition w/o the need to go crank-fire style. Anyone used one of the 123 systems before?

This is a very old thread and also my first time one this forum (Hi everyone!) - but I thought I might still get in touch with someone who knows this.
I am about to go through the same Weber (K248 kit) conversion on my W116 280S after I finally caved in (my Solex is badly bent from previous owner bolting it on with too much torque and a complete rebuild didn't help either). My question is: There is a thick insulator with glued-on gaskets on the intake manifold onto which the carburetor mounts (this one here). Is that still required with the weber kit? Or does the kit's adapter plate bolt directly onto the intake manifold? Thanks! Agav |
