well I put a light on it and it would seem that the timing is at 0 at 1k with vacuum undone. Im going to have to redrop the distributor because it is fully advanced due to the advance it self manifold/carb so im hopin that is all my problem. I did a hot adjust on the vavles anyway. my distributor shaft feels alright but it was used when i put it in so im thinking i might replace anyway.
