Re: Timing & Gas Milage

Looks like a well done installation! When I worked as a mechanic, the boss' kid installed a new distributor but failed to tighten the hold-down clamp. When I came in the next day, he told me that the starter failed when he tried to restart it after it "stalled'. What had happened is he seized the engine. Time for a rebuild. When I pulled it apart I realized why it acted like the secondaries weren't opening- the cam was going flat. I was a lot faster after the rebuild.
