FBO plate over advancing

Ok, I was trying to eliminate the dizzy rotating a bit.

I don't have an FBO plate, but you could measure the slots to make sure it's the correct slot. I know they are marked but it's something else to eliminate.

dist. degrees / slot size
6.............. .340
7............... .355
8............... .375
9............... .390
10.............. .405
11.5 ........... .420
12.............. .435
13.............. .445
14.............. .460
15.............. .475
16.............. .490
17.............. .505
18.............. .520

undoubtedly, the distributor will be torn back down, I will post the FBO slot readings when that happens.

Are the posts clean without slits from years of wear?

by posts, are you referring to the cap posts? If so, the cap looked okay from over the fender. New cap and cables were installed probably 10-15 years ago and basically sat until this summer. I will pull it off this evening and do a better inspection.

In my head at least, that cap worked fine 3 days ago ... but if I knew, I wouldn't be here, so there's that.
