Mild 318 misses at 3000rpm

If you have a dialback or timing tape or a marked dampener, how much timing do you have at 2500? On the RP, eng off, turn housing till the magnet is dead even with the nearest tooth & see where the rotor is pointing (how close to the cap terminal & on what side of it). this static check will get you "close" to see if it is a RP issue & it dont matter where the dampener "timing" is, just work with the dist itself but yes if you set the dampener first to your preferred initial then move the dist to line up the magnet for this checking it will make it easier to start back up when you are done but note that the initial or mech timing does not affect RP. EDIT or easier yet, forget where the dampener is at & just hand bump the crank forward with a 1&1/4" socket/breaker bar till the magnet is dead even with the nearest/next tooth & see where the rotor RP is.
