Pissed off with motor, want to change

Just to be sure, I turned the motor to #1 TDC and aligned the timing marks. The rotor is pointing at the #1 cylinder on the cap. And my #1 on the cap is just left of center. The weird thing is that it was running beautifully before the wash. I just can't believe it would be timing or a misadjustment. You would think the problem would have been there all along if that was the case.


I would get a cheap point dist and install a new set of points and see what happens. Electron ignition is great when it works but can cause many headaches.

you be surprise how well a point dist can work and its so simple, cheap and easy to wire up
