base timing keeps advancing by itself...

Thank you, I understand and acknowledge that the dampener may have spun. I was addressing ray's timing light concern. I'm not 'disregarding' anybody. I am also not in the habit of taking orders from impatient strangers on the internet. We are engaging in some troubleshooting discussion on a forum page until I am able to dig deeper into diagnosis. If that angers you, move along.
Impatient ...or are you incapable.
It's been over a week!
Stranger? Lol
Hey guess what? You're the stranger around here!
We are generous enough to be giving advice to youuuuu!
