My problem is that I can't turn the body of the distributor. I loosened th hold down bolt and the body won't turn. That's why I figured I needed to buy timing keys or something.
Sooooo.....you're telling me that I am supposed to be able to turn the body of the distributor?
Why won't it turn? I thought only vacuum advance distributors could be adjusted like that.
Something's messed up then I guess.
