Old school timing gun8/10/2023 ![]() ![]() So then got one with added perks as I described. Meantime my old timing light took a dump (I only had it 40 years lol). This got me getting stumbling at around 2000rpm. In any case with a 'working' advance this created the stumbling problem at around 3k rpm, so adjusted timing. Maybe shoulda left that alone and set this up before doing springs. First I came to find that my advance was dead anyway so had to get a new can and since this was off put in lighter springs. I took two steps forward that may have been a goof. Come to find after wanting to do some tricks to hep it up a bit off the line was the idea to trick the advance with lighter springs. I put in a mopar electronic ig years ago but two years ago motor was totally rebuilt with some mod's. There's more to my story that likely raised the great questions and tips here. Does my description of the timing confirmation jive with those of you who are versed on this? Thanks! Hope I've given you ample details. So this is a problem I'm thinking is advance adjustment or curve is off. My problem is when I connect the vacuum advance, the mark is whacked out nowhere near the TDC and motor stumbles (that's what I'm trying to get rid of). And also by dialing in timing, for full advance, gives you what total advance is at various RPM's that is to mate the balancer mark to the indicator to TDC. What I gathered is this dials in timing adjusting the strobe pattern and give you, or actually confirm, what the timing is when say it's beyond what the indicator plate provides by finding the timing matching TDC. With the added features there was more to learn and some sifting on the web helped but still kinda foggy information and confirmed this with two buddies that have done a whole lot of car work for eons. Being old school my old light did one thing check initial timing. Nice and works well but was surprised that the instructions were for ****. I bought a new timing light some recommended the Innova 5568. ![]()
