"Timing for $200 please Alex"

[MonsterMash]

One does this when his GW's vacuum advance nipple hits the power steering bracket thereby keeping the distributor from being turned to the desired location for proper ignition timing.

tune it by ear it will run better and you will have more precicion unless you have trouble turning the distributer with your ear in which case you should use a timing light

Veepster: Correct! I was hoping you could tell me which way exactly but I think that if my distributor is turned all the way counter-clockwise, the wires should be moved counterclockwise and the dist. moved back clockwise. I'll let ya' know.

Josh: Actually I am timing by ear and performance since my timing light bulb blew and the emmissions have been modified (by previous owner-Al Gore).
