Eric,
From what I have gathered from the other replies that I
received, the distributor is working correctly. Is has a
mechanical advance vs a vacuum advance. I don't remember
timing a mechanical advance disributor before so what I was
noticing seemed weird, but was in fact, correct.
Thanks for the offer of your help. Now I just have to
figure out how to test the OD vacuum advance switch.
Regards,
Gene Balinski
