Quick one for someone

I got advance limiters with a Pertronix billet dissy and the paperwork says they are 12*, 16* and 20* denoted by colour, there is no colours on any of my limiters they are stamped with no's 8, 9 and 10.

Can anyone confirm if the no's are corespond the the advance in same order as above

Mine were different colors so no can't help but that seems odd.

I went into a few manuals online and they all cite colours. If nobody has come across this I'll just try out what's there.

Incase anyone is wondering the limiters are no 6,8 and 10 and not coloured anymore.

I presume they are number to limit advance each side. IE 6+6= 12* limit

A few years since I did Pertronix myself but if I remember correctly...The shortest one will give you the biggest advance...the longest will give you the smallest advance...
