250 timing question
Recently on my 66 I ditched the old points distributor for an HEI from summit. I put the timing mark on 0 so the rotor would be pointing at #1 before removing the old one. Installed the new one and had it pointing at #1. Got a new set of plugs and cut to fit Accel wires and it started right up. Yes I had the vac advance pulled and capped. When I put a timing light to it the mark on the crank was completely vertical which is 2" away from the indicator on the timing cover but it ran fine. If I twist the distributor so the mark is on or near 0 the idle slows, surges a bit and threatens to stall. Any ideas why this might be?
