Initial timing

Thanks J, I havent checked coil yet(timing light shows consistent spark now).
I also havent pulled a v/c YET. When I do I'll chk the lash also.
No to checking for vac leaks. I'm assuming no as there seems to be a lot of vacuum and when I put hand over carb it stalls.
Yeah reluctor gap set with brass gauge.
A few things on the to do list, and the carb kit came in. Hopefully get time Monday to tackle this.
Thanks.

I'll assume you've checked for vacuum leaks and your coils good? I have had good timing lights not work on occasion on Brand New MSD wires and then later on ..work just fine ...so I've had that happen too. I use a matchbook to Gap the reluctor to the magnetic pickup. As long as you can just see between the two it's about .008,yes.
Have you pulled the covers off to see if all the valves are closed, stems are all about the same height? Valve lash?
