It's absolutely gutless on a grade but great on the flats. I fiddled with an old timing light today and set the distributor to what I thought was correct. Took it out for a spin and it was the same. What I need to know is how do I set the timing to 5 degrees BTDC? I have a 25+ year old timing light that I guess I don't really know how to use. The pictures below hopefully will show you what I have and possibly how to get-r-done.

How do I set the dial to 5 degrees BTDC?
