I cleaned the timing marker/pointer and found 1 line that the builder might have stamped on it (unless it came that way). I guess that would be zero mark. I disconnected the vacuum advance and plugged the line. I warmed the engine to normal operating temp, hooked up the digital timing light and my reading at idle 700 rpm was 16.3 before the lines would line up. I think I read that should be 8-10. Is that correct? If I am right I now need to repeat with 2500-3000 rpm and adjust distributor until timing light reads around 34-36. Please feel free to chime in with thoughts. Thanks
