Mr.0077
Thanks. I will double check.

Pat-
Interesting. You must have used the silver bushing which gives 25 degrees of mechanical advance.

Have you experimented with more initial timing? I have found that my motor idles much better (smoother and cleaner) with more initial timing- I guess the extra timing allows for a more complete burn. Therefore, I am going to set it up with between 18-20 initial and use the black bushing that gives 18 mechanical advance- for a total of between 36 & 38. Looking at MSD's directions, using the black bushings and the 2 light blue springs should have all timing in by 2500. I'll install them that way and see how it works.
