Yeah I'm old and I'm sure I forgot plenty over the years... but WHY have a plate that MOVES.. sure could have been a cost savings to dump the weights and springs along with a separate top timing plate... you can twist the rotor.. correct.. WHY.. to have mech advance... its a relationship to the rotor and cap.. yes it still fires at the same point in relationship of the reluctor and the rotor when using the timing light..but NOT in relationship to the cap... put a reference mark on the cap EDIT why is it that when the mech timing comes in it changes the crank timing... nothing moved
I will definitely mark the cap as you suggest. I think this video may be a blockbuster! When the mechanical timing comes in, it is delaying the link between the upper distributor, and the engine.
