Is there something wrong with having mechanical advance? Just curious.
Tonight I retarded the timing "about" 2 degrees(timing light is broken and I need a new one). It was pinging before and still does. I'll try a few more tommorow.
Actually, I was talking about the weights in the distributor for the advance. They just determine how fast the advance comes in...correct? My Mallory manual says it's factory set at 24 degrees.
So with it at 16 BTDC and 24 in the dist. I have a total of 40 degrees BTDC...right?
I don't know much about "fine" tuning the timing but I
DO realize that I need to buy another timing light for acurate results.
