I finished rebuilding the engine and started it up. With all the talk about timimg lately, my initial timing seems to be higher than most. Using a Snap-On, adjustable, digital timing light, My initial timing is at 27 degrees. I seem to remember that the Mallory Unilite distridutor (no vaccum) has 24 degrees mechanical advance. The engine seems happy and will verify when I get it out on the road.
Do these numbers seem within reason?
