Timing way off..help.

MoparLeo said

I gave you the formula to test mechanical tdc for any possibility of the timing chain jumping or the harmonic balancer slipping. This was post #7 on Sunday. I didn't see any postings that you performed the test. ?? It would confirm immediately timing chain jump. Any reason for doing all kinds of other things instead?

I did the test I had 1.25socket on end of crank..and rotor/ reluctor moved in sync...what else could make timing so far off..with light I tried correcting with moving distributor and was able to get better revs but still way under power..just don't know what else could make timing so off..does ignition module adjust timing? Could harmonic balancer moved and that make a difference...don't know what else . Everything else checking fine multiple times..the ballist was weird it gave good reading but on very close inspection had some defective issues on back . Gave me my strong spark back..
