Slant six timing issues

That distributor is a genuine Chinese knockoff, and is suspect.
Also make sure the carb secondaries, are not cracked open. Make sure he throttle linkage in not holding the carb slightly open.
I still have the original. The only reason i repaced it was becuase the cam on the old one was worn so the reluctor wouldnt pick up the trigger signal, the points were also burned in the cap, and the plasic gear was worn. Should i just toss the new electronics into the old distributor? Also i noticed the gear on the new one was metal but seened to be identical in size and shape to the plastic one.
