Karim,
How could you NOT get it right using static timing? Please explain what
seems to be going wrong. IMHO, static timing is dead simple and
foolproof. Put the timing marks at 10 degrees BTDC, hook up the 12V
static timing light (you do have one of those, don't you?) and use the
micrometer adjustment on the distributor to set it where the light just
comes on.
