I am in the process of installing a 1.8L 205AA Vacuum Distributor in my dual carb setup. I am initially trying to static time it, but no matter where I turn the distributor, I get a constant 12V on my meter. It never goes to zero. I can see the points open and close but the voltage remains all the time. What's wrong here? Is there something I need to disconnect inside the 205AA dizzy since I am not fuel injected? Very puzzled and need HEEEELP !!!! Thanks.
