Once I do get my electical problems resoved, I'm back to tuning. It now runs
rougher than when I started smoothing it out! Sounds like a gallop cadence...
I'm assuming this is primarily caused by bad timing, although the the static
light timing seems correct. (BTW, setting the timing mark 3/8" left of the
pointer means, I assume, left from the driver's perspective? Instructions I
have refer to clockwise/counterclockwise directions when looking from front of
the car, but don't qualify "left", so assume it is as usual, from driver's
reference.)
The only references I can find to adjusting the vacuum advance on the
distributor says " move one click of the vernier to advance 2 degrees". Between
the DPO and moreso the DCO, it's been spun to both ends of its excursion, and
now sits at some random spot in between... how do I calibrate this to start at
some known point of advance/retard?
TIA
