Re: Subject: ignition timing (score: 1): Author: "kas kastner" <kaskas@cox.net>; Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2003 09:06:32 -0700; One of the problems with the stock distributor is that the shaft is easily bent and this leads to an alternate point gap for opposite cylinders. Checking you will see that the static timing for examp; /html/fot/2003-09/msg00194.html (11,346 bytes)

You still need to check though. One of the problems with the stock distributor is that the shaft is easily bent and this leads to an alter; /html/fot/2003-09/msg00197.html (11,819 bytes)

So unless you are using a crank trigger, and I don't recall seeing any funny w; /html/fot/2003-09/msg00203.html (12,959 bytes)

The runout on the distributor makes the timing vary because it opens the points sooner on one side of the point cam than the other. There's generally not enough runout to change po; /html/fot/2003-09/msg00204.html (13,698 bytes)

Consider a shaft bent slight towards one lobe and away from the other. The lobe the shaft is bent towards will open the points sooner (which is what changes the timing), ope; /html/fot/2003-09/msg00206.html (7,951 bytes)

Not as big an effect, but there is still an effect. The magnetic pickups (eg Pe; /html/fot/2003-09/msg00211.html (8,071 bytes)
