- After I found TDC on the number one cylinder, I connected a volt meter to the distributor low tension lead to the coil and set it at 10 deg BTDC just as the voltage dropped. I checked that the dog g

- I assume you were turning the distributor backwards (retarding) as it dropped ? Normally the spark happens as the points open, and it's best to set the timing as you advance the dizzy, in case there

- How did you check the timing and the spark ? Have you tried to verify the timing mark against piston movement (preferably on I'm thinking bad condenser, or bad fuel, or maybe fouled plugs combined w
