Re: Questions about using a timing light

As you are well aware, I am a novice too. But I am understanding it the same way I think.

It sounds like your total advance is giving you good performance at idle/cruise right now. But perhaps not during acceleration or WOT (due to so much advance loss, vac advance). Solution would be to change vac advance with different canister either adjustable or fixed that provides less advance. Then adjusting timing to achieve same total advance for idle/cruise, but less would be lost during acceleration or WOT.

I'm learning too, but I think I am interpreting this the same as you are.
