Electronic spark controller Eradication.

[irishman999]

I turned my distributor counter clocking wise wich is advance right? Ok so when i have it turned almost to the point the vaccume advance is hitting the manifold the truck runs smooth and idle's perfect. The only noticeable problem is while cruising and flooring it there is a split second of hesitation.

I found the wire going to my knock sensor melted onto the exhaust manifold. A member here told me yesterday it retards the timing, is that the electronic spark controller that retards timing? I cant remember wich wires to splice to bypass the controller, I dont have a test light either so im just doing this by seat of pants feel. If
