I have a 73 Jensen Healey (engine #1616) that has been having a problem maintaining ignition timing. For some unknown reason, the ignition timing will shift 90+ degrees. So far this has only happened at the distributor and not with the valves and pistons. I am wondering if the pulley might be worn and the belt slipping or is there some other possible cause? Have you seen this problem before? Could the problem be corrected by a new belt? Have the pulley keys been known to fail? I've tried to contact Dave Bean and Delta but no response to date. Any help or suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated.
