Mechanical advance or vacum????????????

never had that problem with vacum advance,only mechanical ones.....

check everything closely, I found that by moving the "arms/levers" that the springs attach to, I had small spots of rust under them, took it all apart and cleaned the rust of with a small brass brush and put a drop of oil and put it all back together, things worked a lot better......

also check your "stop" bushing and all other parts for binding....

definetly go with the builder recommendations on timing.....check your paperwork, you can change the springs for the timing to come in faster or slower and change the stop bushing for more or less total timing..............

They usually come with the heaviest springs installed,I usually end up with the middle tension springs to make it work like I want it to....
