True, but another question is why it moved at all. One possibility
is that the points wore abnormally or broke. If the cam follower
wore away, the timing would have moved backwards (unless I've got it
totally wrong). If the points burned themselves away or perhaps
broke (which I saw happen on a Datsun 510) the timing would have
moved forward.
