[ThomasBorchers]

Hello,

we have a car with the 1929 Continental 11 E engine. But we have no idea about ignition timing, valve settings and so on. Where could I get these information ?

Thanks for your help

Dear Bill,

thank you very much for help. This is funny... at the same day you made your post, I received engine data via the AACA Library.

This engine was also used in our 1929 Hansa A 6 Sedan.

Thanks again.

Tom
