Im having a timing issue that is getting the best of me lately, that probably has an easy solution that I am missing.
Its a 216, 12 volt, Pertronics electronic ignition, rebuilt Rochester carb. Has fuel and spark. Valve lash is set cold @ Intake .010 & Exhuast .018. No play in disty body, and octane selector set at 0. Plugs gapped to .38, if I remember corrrectly. Vacuum advanced blocked off.
I have removed disty several times, found TDC (tried the ball and triangle), restabbed disty and run #1 wire from where the rotor is pointing. Tried several different rotor locations by turning oil rod w. screwdriver.
I can get her to fire off, be it very roughly, but by advancing the timing by way of turning disty ccw, she'll run better and smoother. But with a timing light its at 14-15 degrees advanced and runs rough when giving it throttle.
Shutdown and wont restart at this timing and have to retard timing back down to restart?
I have even attempted to rotating all my wire ccw by one. And same results.
What am I missing?
