As part of the ongoing goal of expanding the internet’s Lada reference material we decided to check the ignition timing curve on IVAN2104. The process was simple enough, remove vacuum signal to the vacuum advance pot and using a dial back timing light measure the degrees of advance while holding the engine revs at the required test speed.

Our base (static) timing was set to 5 degrees and measured from the 0 degrees timing mark with the digital timing light. Mechanical advance can be solved by subtracting 5 from the values below:

These numbers are as measured from the Lada Hall effect distributer ignition using an INNOVA #3568 Digital Timing Light

Nagy Emil has also provided a chart from the service manual for reference.
