[Tigers] Timing deviates - advice needed

[Ron Fraser]

Gary
	Mallory uses a felt pad around the points rubbing block. The felt
should not be bunching up under the rub block but it should be checked.  I
hope it is the picture; I don't see good lobe definition for the points to
rub against.

It sounds like John has the answer (from experience).. but wait a minute,
what is all that fuzz under the rubbing block on your points?? That doesn't
look good to me, though I have never had an aftermarket dizzy like that.  If
the fuzz bunches up....  With points, a little cam grease every tune up used
to work fine.  Anything between the cam and rubbing block WILL drastically
affect the timing. Gary

Once again, thanks all, for your responses.
Per Mayf's suggestion, relaying here a few details:
Model: Mallory Dual Point YC-449-HP
Motor: 302 CID. Year unknown. Stock internals.
Other: Moves smoothly to about 15 degrees advance, and 10 degrees retard. No
stickiness. New points, rotor, coil, wires about 2500 miles ago. A couple
folks asked for pics: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tigerv8
The suggestion was made of installing a substitute, to prove/disprove
distributor issue. No many cats in these parts though (St. Albert, Alberta,
Canada). _______________________________________________
