Eljaro,

Are you looking at the timing mark to see your problem or are you feeling the problem?

I dont think you will get a misfire from your timing missing. You will feel a surge with the timing moving from 30 to 40.

There might not be anything wrong is you are just looking at the timing mark. MSD 6 al play alot of tricks with timing lights.

I thought I had a problem when I saw my timing move backwards when reving the motor to 3000 rpm, it was the timing light with the MSD module playing tricks

Also, for giggles try this take a piece of wire and replace it with your springs ( basically lock out the dist). Advance the timing to 32 degrees and see what happens. Check and see if your timing is still moving which it should not.

The pickup has nothing to do with the advancement of the timing. check your springs
