Ron,

One other thing and sorry if I’m stating the obvious but……

When setting the ignition timing statically make sure to rotate the distributor in the opposite direction than the dizzy rotates so that the #1 wire distributor cap contact contacts the leading edge of the rotor first.  If the cap is turned in the opposite direction it will contact the trailing edge of the rotor resulting in your timing being off by another 20 or so degrees BTDC.

It’s a mistake I made!

BTW I’ve got extra parts you’ll be interested in but I just haven’t been able to bring myself to part with them yet.  My little 2 car garage is bursting at the seams now with the addition of the TRV so some of this stuff eventually will have to go. Also I’ve been swamped with other cabinet projects.  Too little time!!!
