Hi Bob,
Are you still using the breaker points? If so the difference
may be due to a slight wobble in the distributor shaft causing
the points to open a little more (and concequently sooner) on
one side than the other. If you are using an after-market
electronic ignition system (as so many of us are) then the
cause may be due to the wheel not being perfectly centered.
Remember, 4 degrees on the crank is only 2 degrees on the
distributor.
