I would recommend a video.......hang on, @yellow rose didn't you have a video with a distributor machine? Surprisingly, it actually wasn't very gay. LOL Maybe that would help. You gotta link to it, Tim?
That is a video of the timing retarding with RPM I think. Been a while since I did that one, but I think this is it.
And I forgot about this video. I made it because this is a cheap eBay distributor that is UNtuneable. In fact, I finally got pissed off spending time trying to locate some parts and called the dude that sells them. He says they were designed to be UNtuneable, which IMO is REtarded. One curve doesn’t fit all and their is no way to change the curve on that without spending more time and money than its worth. In fact, I had the distributor so far apart the guy wanted me to send him pictures. I thought he wasn’t going to take it back when he looked at the pictures, but he did. He said no one was supposed to take them that far apart. How else do you figure out how stuff works.
So I put it back together, made sure it worked and sent it back.
