X3. The Pertronix unit sets on the breaker plate in a different position than the points. Check your timing first and let us know what it is before adjusting. I'll bet it's 15° or so off.
toolman, yup my ignition was way out. about 25 degrees advanced actually. so now i'm trying to return to zero and the best i can get is about 15 degrees advance based on the existing dot. any thoughts on getting this thing to zero? is this where folks will pull the distributor and rotate it a notch?
