Hi all.
Two questions)
A) What does it generally mean if you cant start an engine unless you way advance the distributor?
B) What does it generally mean if you set the timing dead on specs and it retards itself by two degrees. I set it right on at 10BTDC, looked back in 20-30 seconds and its about 7BTDC.
I have my hunches about these things but I want to see what the pros say.
Finally getting around to working on this 65 Coronet 500 I bought a year ago, and I don't know much about it. A nice solid straight car but it has some gremlins I am afraid.
Thanks
Neal Zimmerman
