I guess the first question to ask is: Did you time and run the engine when you last worked on the timing chain/gears? If so and all was normal then, what did you change recently? CR

If you've had the distributor out recently, the gear could have pulled up when the distributor was out, and it may or may not have dropped back in the proper teeth. That would offset it somewhat. Th

No, it's way simpler than that. You just have the spark plugs wires shifted around on the distributor cap. For example, if you shift each plug wire one nipple clockwise, you could rotate the distribu

The distributor drive gear cannot come out unless the distributor base casting is removed from the engine block. If that piece is removed, and the gear happened to "pull up and drop back", it would e

Hey Listers! Thanks for your responses. It appears that I didn't install the distributor drive gear quite right. I think I'm off by one tooth, which would explain why I had to rotate the distributor

You could have easily dropped the drive gear back in a tooth or two off. A simple fix.... just move the spark plug wires around the clock one position and set the dist body back 90 degrees. WOW! ...j

Why would the timing of the cam and distributor be out? If they have not been removed, they can't have changed. The timing chain cannot jump a tooth. It's possible the distributor drive gear is insta

If you get pinging/pinking when under load it is an indication that the centrifugal advance may be too high, which can be caused by stretched springs allowing max advance at too low an rpm. An adjust

Let's say your timing curve is correct, assuming correct springs and advance weights, and nothing is sticking or hanging up. In cooler weather, does the pinging persist? Have you tried a colder spar

The reason that avgas is a BadIdea (tm) is that it has a lot of additives in it so that it will work at a wide range of altitudes and temperatures. The effect of this is that: 1) it is not optimized
