New is meaningless, proper function must be verified.
The advance curve may be a mess.

By putting a light on it and holding steady at 2000 RPM where it’s breaking up, you will quickly know if the ignition is solid...or if it’s something else.

I wonder where @toolmanmike has been? He hasn’t stopped in here in a few days.
His last post on the forum was Thursday night.

Don't know, hope he's alright
What is "about 8 * BTDC"? Used a light?
What predicated all this work on the engine? Trying to fix????

I think the timing is shot. Might be a bad chain/Cam sprocket.. Need to put a light on it.....
Have him pop the Dist. cap, turn the crank by hand, one way a little ,then the other. Watch the rotor. It should move with the crank movement, no slop..

A timing chain that's jumped one tooth will run as described. Start and idle fine and as soon as it's loaded will choke, spit, and sputter.

Too much judgement in that, just use the light...it will tell the tale.

We set the clocks back around dinner time tonight so we go to bed on the new schedule. This way, tomorrow and Monday are a little easier since we are on the new schedule already. We do the same thing in the Fall.Thank you Dave
Smart...

I never understood why they do it on Saturday night. It makes more sense to me to do it on Friday night and give folks a chance to adapt before Monday morning. Weekend schedules tend to be more flexible and make it better able for people to adapt.
I guess i will be up an hour earlier....3 or 4. Thats too early.
Maybe i should take up drinking,may help me sleep.

Even AccuWeather is being cautious about the upcoming storm Monday night...
“The impacts along the I-95 corridor from Washington, D.C., to New York City will be determined by how close the storm tracks to the coast. The forecast has a low probability of accuracy at this point.
Even if the storm tracks far enough offshore, a little snow may still spread over Washington, D.C., on Monday afternoon and Philadelphia and New York City on Monday night. The snow that falls after sunset could create slushy or slick spots for travelers.
A track closer to the coast would bring more snow and mounting travel disruptions for the Tuesday morning commute to this section of the I-95 corridor.”
