Quote: put your marks on TDC & see where the rotor is (whether #1 or #6) it'll be way off from the underside of the dist cap terminal. More details, what happened.
Already done.
We set the timing at 35* at 3,000 rpm. It has very low vacuum (9"). But if you advance the timing to 42* we can get the vacuum up to 17".
Engine has a miss between 1,800 to 2,300 rpm. The engine runs better with a lot of advance but still has that stutter.
