I am joining this discussion late but my 2 cents .,I have set many distributors over the years and very few came to me with the distributor set correctly even though very few miles had be done on them since servicing ,it shows that ninety per cent run after a fashion but not as they should .There is a right answer ,if your setting your points at 15 then its not timed ,in the book 15 was the starting point then adjustments are made after that, more like 16 and 11 with the wider one on the drivers side .With the points we get now its even harder .With the advance [plate one notch up you will be close but unlikely spot one .Ted

Per the advice I got, I set points to .015 and timing screw up by two notches. I'm starting to get the feeling that there's no right answer and no wrong answer  |
