Re: Static timing with Pertronix points...Possible? Posted by tom0710 [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Re: Static timing with Pertronix points...Possible?, Name Left Blank, Wed, 19 Nov 2014 14:25:46 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Well, I sure don't want to burn out the Pertronix unit.
It's backfiring through the carb big time, and I think that means the timing is way retarded. If I rotate the distributor counterclockwise to advance the timing, maybe I can keep it running long enough to put a timing light on it.
Also, it's running on new valves that have about 500 miles on them. I should probably do a valve adjustment first.
It's cold out there in the garage, but this must be done!
Thanks kansas and "no name" for your suggestions.
I'll post how this all turns out.
Tom
