timing issues
#12
The mark on the harmonic balancer may have slid, but also consider
that mark is for stock engines, normal driving, and standard tune-ups
and specs.
Maybe you want to try setting the timing by ear.
Loosen the distributor lockdown ring.
With the engine running,(wear heavy boots and socks) grasp
the distributor with a thick, heavy, dry rag. Slowly rotate the
dist till you hear the tnk,tnk,tnk of post ignition, then slowly back it
off a couple degrees. Then lock it down, and test run her.
Won't cost ya nuthin'...
