I'm going to get this thing running to suit me if it kills me!! I have a 230 with two 1bbl Rochester B(I think) carbs. When I bought motor from previous owner he converted old distributor to electronic. I have several problems I believe.
#1 The thing starts great...but lacks power in the mid range.
#2 when I put a timing light on it, the mark doesn't even fall within 3 inches of the O mark. It is very much to the retarded side. When I try to bring it up to 4 degrees BTDC, I get very poor performance.
#3 Not sure the timing advance is working, as I don't see it move when I throttle up.
#4 I find only six volts at the coil with ignition switch on.
Question: Is it possible the PO has the distr. installed 180 deg. off. would it start and idle well, but not really perform at higher rpm's if that was the case?
Any and all help would be appreciated.
