... and speaking of Show and Shine ... This car was parked across from me last Saturday at the local Show and Shine. Can you tell what it is...
Next thing you know he will whip your ass Bill.
Mostly no good.
Check your PMs Paul.
When setting timing, go ahead and disconnect vacuum advance and plug the line so there won't be a vacuum leak. Shouldn't make a difference, but...
Funny thing is, if it happened the way you said (saw the ball first, then the U|C), your timing was ADVANCED more than it should have been UNLESS...
Not knowing what your idle speed is ... Not knowing if you removed the vacuum advance line ... Not knowing if you plugged the vacuum hose ......
Heading to the cement pond in a few minutes if you want to call. No laps, just chillin' with a smoothie and the Sunday paper.
We can do it with a regular timing light. Dial back is just a nice option.
Tests to be done before Zig and I get back together tomorrow include: Fuel pressure when approaching the engine speed where the engine starts to...

Dam Zig, Tubby's is set up like yours with #1 away from the engine block. Maybe MINE is backwards!!!:eek: No matter where #1 is if the timing...
YaBut ... This occurred (or at least was found) when the cap was also on 180 degrees out so fixing the two crossed wires had no effect on the way...
The rest of you guys need to jump in with troubleshooting ideas. I'm running low.
Zig: You still owe me a picture of the distributor and plug wires all hooked up.
My GMC (same motor as Zig's, but runs a lot better) was pulling 16"-17" of vacuum at the factory specified 425 RPM idle and factory specified "on...
Bilbo suggested doing this to help determine if this was a fuel starvation problem and I thought it was safer than Evan's suggestion to dribble...
Quit worry about this Zig. The crankshaft turns twice for every one turn of the distributor. So the timing mark "ball" will show up when...
His 1st sentence implies that I helped Zig get the cap on a half turn from where it should have been. Not true. I helped him realize that it was...
