Thread: Timing out by 55 degrees!!!!!

Had an MSD box that put the timing all over the place, never the same twice. Chucked it and went back to stock ignition, runs perfect.

Thats the beauty of a stock Kettering (points) ignition system, if something is wrong you can usually see it and use plain old common sense and mechanical knowhow and fix it. The only tools needed was a multimeter and a vacume guage. You dont need these fancy testing thingames to track down weird ignition variations.

And what I really like about points ignitions, is that run just as good as electronic ignitions if well maintained. This goes for magnetos as well.
