List participants;
Car details:
73, stock (as far as I know), ignition retard removed, timing set at 10BTDC.
Taking advantage of the nice weather, for late October in Calgary, AB, I
took my 6 out for a final? run of the season. The car had a very noticeable
hesitation below 2000 rpm, above this everything was fine. When I checked
the timing I found the timing marks to be nowhere near the pointer, at ~5
o'clock when viewed from the front. The distributor was at or near its
usual position (for this car since I have owned it), retard capsule pointed
towards the MC. When turning the dizzy to retard the timing the timing
marks would jump to ~11o'clock, advancing the dizzy would then smoothly
advance the timing for a few degrees before once again jumping to ~ 5
o'clock.
I have a vague recollection, aren't they all, about someone else
experiencing something similar but have been unable to find any relevant
postings. Does anyone have any thoughts as to the cause/solution?
On another matter, I was planning to remove the engine this winter to "warm
it over", any recommendations for a suitable shop in Calgary, Alberta.
