Hi , I've got a problem with my timing beeing erattic when held at higher rpm then idle.
The engine is a 440 and it's got stock electronic pick-up.
I got about 10 degrees of advance and before the issues started it's all in somewhere between 1500-2000.
Now, the only time that my timing seems to be stable is at idle.
When held at higher rpm it bounces around a few degrees and at the same time it seems to retard timing.
The higher the rpm the more it retards. At about 3000 it retards about 5 degrees and at the same time it bounces around lets say 3 degrees.
What I've tried is
Change Ignition coil
Pick-up coil
Number 1 spark plug wire
The main spark plugg wire from coil to distribuor
Number one spark plug
Distributor cap
Rotor
Ecu box
Tried two different timing lights
None of these things made any difference.
You can wiggle the reluctor slighty with the dist in the engine. Now I understand there is a little wiggle from where the shaft from the dist meets the drive slot in the engine but how much is to much?. Also there is some up and down play when grabbing reluctor and pulling. Got a video of it but but cant seem to upload it to this forum.
Any ideas?
