..'69 shop manual shows initial timing at 5 btdc.
for a total of 35 that would mean mechanical must be 15 x 2 + 5 for 35 tot. w/0 vac advance
at 13 initial + 30, tot would be 43,add vac advance..and it should ping
your distributor must be marked wrong.




The slots are VERY short, it is correct when I checked the total it cam up with 16 over the initial.

I checked for play today. It has over 10 thousanths easily, probably closer to 15 thou, so its REALLY bad. Im amazed the thing runs so good since its probably missing spark half the time. NEVER backfires or pops though. I guess my electronic dizzy is going in.


Now I need to pin those needles, got to feel that heat
