If your car idles well and the vacuum is near the peak, the fixed timing is probably correct. The balancer rings have slipped and the balancer needs to be rebuilt or you need to replace it. The outer ring can actually come off, which might ruin your day.What Joe says! You can put the distributor in with any physical orientation you want (most of them put the vacc. adv. somewhere inconvenient) as long as #1 fires at TDC power stroke. If the rotor is pointing backwards it's OK, as long as the wire there is to the right cylinder. Reminds me I have to buy a new balancer for my new motor. Someone's reproing them, $100 I think. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
