Thanks guys,
...all the parts are there and moving freely, not binding, the advance gear rotates willingly.. the advance gears haven't been swapped side to side...
That's the thing - these are pretty idiot-proof setups.. everything is original except the cylinders.. and both sides of the '65 have the identical problem. Whatever I did, I did to both sides.. hmm.. so that's kind of an indicator.
I went through something similar on the rear of the '67, on one side only, it was driving me nuts.. I went from side to side comparing everything.. It turned out to be the cable's eyelet at the top pivot pin was positioned wrong... That was a "Slap to the Forehead" moment, for sure.. and I found *that* problem by sticking to basics, looking at every single part of the set up one at a time until I found it. I feel like i've done that this time too over and over. I'll try again before I give up.
Yeah, I could measure and compare with the '67, that's a good idea. But if the common practice is to bend the arm, and I can't do anything else, I'll go ahead and do that..
For now I'm crawling underneath and advancing the wheel with a little screw driver manually. ..PITA... but it's a hazard to NOT advance them.. I can feel the rears doing all the work after a while.
Thanks,
