67 BGT with 5 main 1800.  When trying to time with a light, never runs right
regardless of where it is set, 5deg, 10deg, 15deg, doesn't matter.  When
timing by 'hand', 'hearing' and get it to run right, check timing with light
(actually 3 different lights) and shows @35deg btdc!  Set engine with #1 at
TDC and the timing mark lines up perfect with the harmonic balancer mark.  I
supose the timing gear could be off by a tooth, but then would the timing
marks line up at TDC?
Any other thoughts?
TIA

Safety Fast!
