2 Brand New MSD Dist's only advance 8 Deg

Well, all the stops have different amounts of advance. The black is the least amount. Supposed to be 18, it's 10. I wouldn't mind getting nicer wires, but what is wrong with going with the red stop. The most amount of advance. We thought it may be sticking, so I got another identical dist, same thing. That is why I'm thinking either the Stock EI is throwing it a curve, or the wires. If it's not the wires, it may be the stock EI. I will get a 6AL box and try that, expensive R&D, but sometimes that's the only way to figure it out. I guess it could be that MSD goofed on MFG them, but that is an outside chance.

How much would it cost me to have you diagnose it, and how long would it take if I shipped it to you? Like if it works fine for you, then I know it is part of my set up. If it's the same, then I probably wont get the 6AL. It is $275! and just go with whatever springs and stop you can get a 16 idle timing with 32 max.
