Ok..here is where I state the obvious..
I put my strobe light on the car and find something odd.
The timing at 600 rpm is 25 degrees (with vacuum attached). So, I figured I
would see if the full advance goes to 35 degrees at 3000 rpm... At 3000
rpm there is no change in advance..what-so-ever...still 25 degrees.
So, I put the timing light on at 600 rpm and pull the vacuum off.no change
again..still 25 degrees. I figured it should have dropped 5 degrees (am I
correct on this?).
The vacuum diaphragm does hold a vacuum..(basically I suck on the air intake
lead and see if the vacuum holds on my tongue...very technical procedure).
So the only thing I can think of is that the centrifical is not
working.perhaps gummed up after 40 years.
Any ideas welcome
By the way, there is no pinging or knocking.
Thanks
Paul
