Pulled off cap and rotor last night. There is one silver spring and one blue spring installed. According to the MSD Manual tables, this allows for a lighter spring tension.
When I turn the rotor and let go of it, there is hardly enough spring to pull the weights back in. I do not beleive that the weights are even being pulled in all the way. I bet this is my problem. Going to try to find a MSD distributor timing kit that has new springs and clean out the distributor tonight.
Another thing I noticed, is on the wiring of the choke on the carb. According to the Holley manual, the wire lanyard that goes from the carb to the choke should be connected to the positive terminal on the choke. The negative choke terminal goes to 12V. This sounds completely backwards to me. Right now the lanyard goes to the negative terminal and 12V to the positive terminal of choke. I looked at several pictures of other Holley 770's in Cobra's and they are hooked up like mine. Not sure if the choke would see a difference with how this is hooked up or not.
