    Still reading through all of this. The quote below from tuner is what I suspected. It gives the purpose of the curve ( as measured on...

    When this was done they were still transitioning from dual point to electronic. As I describe in the linked thread, clearly their focus...

    As far as I have ever known those are supposed to be for the magnetic impulse race distributors. By the time this version was published...

    Another thought. The reason given for the mechanical loss of timing are clearances in the timing chain, intermediate gear, etc.. What...

    It looks like what they were trying to achieve by adding 3 degrees of advance over 7000 rpm on a distributor machine was to end up with...

    On the DC graph you posted it looks like about 3 crankshaft degrees of advance over about 7000 engine rpm. Less than 1/2 degree per 1000...

    Pretend your timing light is a pistol. With the engine spinning slowly you take two shots in rapid succession when you see the 36 degree...

    Just checking. Do you have the connectors still connected to the ballast resistor but the ballast resistor is defeated wth a shunt? It...

    With the ballast resistor not in play you should have a higher voltage in the run position than in the crank position. Not sure why you...

    When checking voltages are you checking after the switch comes from the start position back to the run position or from the off position...

    Everyone looks like a genius standing next to me.

    What rpm are you setting timing (35 degrees) at? What is your timing number at 4600 rpm?

    I still think that is backwards. A faster light will read a higher timing number before top dead center.

    92b replied to the thread Timing.
    Yes, I think this is backwards.

    I did. I suspect he is not using a fast distributor based on the amount of timing retard he saw with a fast box. I haven't heard a reply...
