Omega General Help / Re: C30NE Setting camshaft and distributor timing

I'll try to dig my Carlton/Senator Haynes manual out for you,
I had a look for mine, and for some reason, she thought it would be better off at a Car Boot Sale a couple of years ago.
I'll admit, I've not needed it for those couple of years, but.... when you need it, it's gone. For 20p, probably.
hey, these things happen, and a fact about life , when you actually need something, its gone..... for the brasil market, not many Ω were sold, mainly being because of the cost>>> mostly upper class purchases, when the internet became well known here and the population realises that everything is outdated by 10 to 20 years, these Ω went up for sale for market value, middle and lower class made purchases of these used cars, most fell by the way side, crashed, siezed in police road blocks (unpaid fines), the real killer was lack of trained mechanics to perform repairs on these cars (compared to the popular VW beatle) ,
i was lucky to find an Ω / carlton estate in good appearance, but soon i realised it lacked maintenance because the previous owner was afraid to take it to any garage because of the mechanics... i`m sure the engine timing i currently have is because of one of these mechanics ..... luckly the BOSCH Motronic 1.5 is not a modern EFI system that pulses the injectors in the firing order sequence, hence the engine starts and runs, idles smoothly.....
i`ll hold on for any confirmation before going into the engine...
thanks buddy
