New to the Mopar scene.. got 68' cuda need help.. new motor...

Finally getting somewhere...

i played with the distributor more today... took it apart and was just flicking the counterweights in an out...

the light spring was SO LIGHT that i could spin the shaft with my fingers and make it advance... and the Thick spring doesnt do anything because of the build up in the slot to limit travel... so basically once the car starts its already on the top of the timing curve...

so i got a bag of springs and started playing... now im at 14* startup and 26* on the top at 3500rpm's... i have more springs that will work better but right now im currently on hold due to melting the shifter cable...

oh and BTW i now have HUGE blisters on my feet due to this problem... hahaha... took it for a test drive around the block and when it melted the cable the Neutral safety switch was stopping it from starting... so i had to get out and push it off the road and when its 100* outside being barefoot on black asphalt is not a good thing... damn it hurts... never do that without shoes again...
