Re: c2 timing moves after initial setting

If you have no evidence that this 43 year old distributor has been overhauled since it began life, I would strongly suggest...

It's not hard and there are extensive discussions in the archives.

Duke - I agree. Its time. Thanks.

Just a note on idle RPM. Are you using the tach in the car? Recently when changing my points and then adjusting dwell I checked the RPM using the dwell meter. It showed that the Tach in the car was 200 RPM low. If you had the idle set at 750, and you have a problem like me, your idle may be as high as 950. As a result you may be getting advance from the weights. Good luck!

Yes using another rpm source in my timing light. Good thought. I think my next step is a distributer rebuild. Thanks

Re: c2 timing moves after initial setting

As Duke suggested, did you confirm that the dwell wasn't changing ?

Wayne, It is next on my list. I ran out of time. I will post my findings. Thanks, Rob
