You may have just found the problem! With the engine warmed up and running at idle unhook the vacuum line to your distributor and plug the hose (pencil or golf tee work good). With the engine at idle adjust the distributor position to your base timing with your timing light - I would start at 12 degrees before TDC for your SBC, tighten the distributor hold down bolt and recheck to be sure it didn't shift with tightening. You can rev the engine a bit to see with your timing light that the mechanical advance is working, then hook up your vacuum line and you're good to go.Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
John's ride to the cemetery, his beloved Billings OK bus, The Baby Elephant!! Traveling in style!! As his service was starting I couldn't figure out what the music was, heavy on a flute in a jaunty...
