Currently running points.  Checked dwell and set to specs.  I was setting the timing and I have a timing light that you can set in the advance. 1st question: Can you use the advance setting on the timing light instead of the 27 at 3500 rpm? 2nd question: My dizzy has 2 vacuum ports. One is advance and one is retard. My throttel body only has one vacumm port for the dizzy. Do I need both hooked up? 3rd Question: Do I have the vacuum line on the correct (advance) side?  4th Question: when I check the timing (just for fun) with the vacuum hose hooked up as shown the timing is not anywhere close to 27 at any rpm. That seems odd. |

Push the rear tin back over the engine case. You can see the flywheel 0 degree mark through the hole in the trans case. Set the advance on the timing light at set it through there. |
