[DML] BAE Turbo and distributor timing

["fgdavison" <fgdavison@xxxxxxxxx>]

My Delorean has a BAE Turbo and recently I noticed a loss of power 
at the higher rpms.  I checked the timing with the vacuum hose 
disconnected and there was no timing advance with increase in RPM 
(the vacuum advance itself worked fine).  I removed the distributor 
and discovered that the centrifugal weights have been intentionaly 
limited in their motion.  The ignition has a J&S knock sensor module 
so I assume that the timing must controlled only by vacuum and the 
knock sensor and not by rpms.  Does anyone know what the timing spec 
should be?  I carefully marked everything during removal but would 
like to make sure it is set up properly.  

I checked the full throttle switch too and it is ok.  The turbo is 
turning.  Any ideas for the next thing to check?

Regards
